Hello, I have a question about sync between LW6.03 and Vw2019 SP6. I changed the setting according to the help PDFs, however, the data get updated only when I input data in LW. If I change address info in VW, it wil not sync to LW6.3 for some reason. Did I miss something?  Thank you |

I hope you're referring to Lightwright 6.0.30, not 6.0.3...  It sounds like you don't have Data Exchange set up to match addresses correctly with Vectorworks. Your screen shot shows you want Lightwright to look at the Vectorworks Address field. Is the data in that field in either absolute or universe format? Those are the only two formats that will bring all of the relevant info into Lightwright. Please read the Lightwright 6 and Addresses document (in Lightwright's Help menu) again. I know it's long and complicated and requires very careful reading, that's because over the years people put data into the 'wrong' fields in VW because the 'right' fields were grayed out. If you still can't puzzle it, please file a bug report at www.mckernon.com and include both the .vwx and the .lw6 file. |

Hello John, I believe I had the address data in universe format using VW2019 Sp6, Please allow me to double check tomorrow when I get back to office . The PDF in help menu is very helpful, and I made VW2020 worked with LW6.0.3. I agree with you this change impacts work flow drastically, becasue we used to utilized wrong field to "cheat" VW in order to make it easier. Thank you. |

Hello John, I think this bug will be fixed in 6.0.30 Beta build 340, before that is there a way i can download old version, which is 6.0.21 by chance? |
