Hi - quick question.
Im struggling with the below and not sure if its even possible with this workflow?
I have been receiving plans from an LD via PDF and created a full LW6 file for the show. I have since received the plan in a VW2017 file.
The LD has only input channel number in VW.
Is it possible to sync with my existing LW6 document to fill out all other data in the VW2017 file (i.e. position, address etc)?
It would seem that just creating an XML and syncing the two files doesn't do this using my Mac?
Your help appreciated.

When you make the first connection you should be asked which information you would like to keep from each file. Can you send them my way we can give you some help. If they are too big just dropbox them and I will take a look. hhohnholt@citytheatrical.com

Lightwright needs some common data to match the existing rows in Lightwright with the lights in Vectorworks. If it can't match the UIDs or LWIDs, then it looks at the position names and unit numbers. Enter position names and unit numbers for all of the lights in Vectorworks, then start Data Exchange, making sure that position and unit# are on the list of fields exported from Vectorworks.
