I’ve used this for the last ~ 3-4 years exclusively and, obviously, it works.
If you actually want to try it then swing by my office. So how do I edit this format? You need to use Jasper Reports and it is VERY powerful. You can replace this with whatever you want. This is pulled from %LightAssistant%/reports/reportLogo.png (CASE SENSITIVE).
#LIGHTWRIGHT TUTORIAL PDF#
The result is it created a series of PDFs for each report and a “Paperwork” PDF which has it all. Now Lighting -> Print Reports -> (I’m doing all–which has a bug I just found on the Mac…) Ok, now I’ve set that up, let’s import Top Girls: I can then enter some information here like Show Name, designers etc… We want the “paperwork module” module (Why the Asterix? I have not finished naming the menus, it can be customized if you want it) If you want to use it then drop by my office with a thumb drive and I’ll get you rolling. However it has some pretty rockin’ features namely the “it just makes all your paperwork” button.
#LIGHTWRIGHT TUTORIAL SOFTWARE#
Light Assistant is my custom software which is totally unfinished and reeks of pre-alpha software. I’m happy to help you in either way! Down the Rabbit Hole: Light Assistant basics However, I caution you that this is a very deep rabbit hole and you might consider that $500 isn’t easy to come by but sure beats the time you’re going to put into a custom system at some point. Can you do this with Access/Filemaker/Excel? Absolutely and I do (I actually use a database I wrote from scratch in Java and I’m working on a Qt version right now which runs natively on Android/iOS/Linux/Windows) and I have some STRONG opinions about why Lightwright is inadequate for my workflow. You should be able to knock out paperwork in a matter of seconds in Lightwright. While I’m not in love with this paperwork it is definitely readable, passable, and customized. I do this under -> and set the sorting order. Now the last thing I want to do is sort my positions. I also want my unit number on the right, I just like it there. Looking here I can actually move things around a bit, for instance I really don’t like the show name being cut off, I’ll add an image or two here under the new Menu that appeared. I then jump to the Layout Tab (on the bottom of the worksheet): I can enter the show title and my position here!
#LIGHTWRIGHT TUTORIAL LICENSE#
(I saved as a PDF for digital sake…)Īnd WOW, that’s terrible! We clearly need to set some things up to make this work better right? (Notice my license is printed, I’m running the demo until IT installs it!) Let’s go to
In this case I only want Channel Hookups and Instrument SchedulesĪnd viola! We have some paperwork. However, this isn’t what you’d usually expect, this is a complex dialog asking you some information about the paperwork (like what schedules to use Here’s a file that has been set up via the import: What you need to do is import the data, there are two methods: automatic data exchange with Vectorworks via the XML file or by import/export via CSV. Lightwright is pretty easy to use this is the entire selling point of the software.
