In Capture, first use the Model Import command to import the DWG file. Then also export an “Instrument Data” file using the “All” setting which will contain all information about the fixtures in the DWG file such as their fixture type(s) and patch. This workflow does require that you have access to VectorWorks.įirst export a DWG file from VectorWorks which will contain the stage model as well as the model of the fixtures. While Capture does not supports VectorWorks (.vwx) model files, it is possible to import a design from VectorWorks including both the model and fixture information. This information can later be useful when replacing imported objects with library fixtures, either manually or using the Import Data feature. When importing models from other file formats attempts to preserve Drawing block name and Drawing name information. Once you have finished, simply close the file you were importing from.

When you drag object into your project you have the option of placing them where you put the mouse pointer or at their original position. Its good practice to hit “Update” so the new project gets the same version of fixtures as in the current library. When opening older project files, a window may appear telling you that some fixtures have been updated since the project you are trying to import from. It opens these files in parallell and allows you to copy items into the project you are working with by using the arrow navigator button. The Import Model feature is used to import models from other file formats as well as importing content from other project files.
