So, I got Vectorworks educational version from free (Thanks NNA!) and have been playing with it for the last few months. I have a few things that I'm either doing wrong or I just can't find the right documentation anywhere.
I just learned how to do lighting positions literally 15 minutes ago. I have my nine lighting positions created, and instruments set to them. Automatic numbering works and the little position summaries are very beautiful...but my stage electrics are too close together and they overlap. I can't move the summary without moving the position. I would even be happy if I could move one of them to the opposite side of the electric (left instead of right) but I can't find any settings to do this. Any hints?
When inserting instruments, I always get a large number of 'resource name conflict' dialog boxes. I wish there was a way to have it either overwrite or keep the existing by default...but I can't find it. I'm either doing adding instruments wrong or there's a way to hide those dialog boxes that I can't find.
Thanks for any hints you can provide! I'm rather enjoying playing with this program.
