Hey Everybody,
I am reusing a plot that was designed by somebody other then me (with their permission). We don't have enough dark days in the season (or any actually) to rehang for the next show. So instead I will just be making small modifications to said plot, the biggest of which being a new patch in the board. I made a new channel hook up in excel and now I want to transfer that to the plot. I exported all the instrument data from vectorworks as a .txt file, opened it in excel, made all channel modifications that I needed to make, and then had vectorworks import the file. Now the correct data shows up in the Obj Info Palette but the old info is still shown on the plot itself, if I go to Spotlight > Refresh Instruments, all the instruments turn into rectangles with NO information attached to them and they do not resemble the instrument models that they used to. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
