Importing MVR

The MVR file format enables a bidirectional exchange of data between Vectorworks Spotlight and lighting consoles or visualizers. You can export any Vectorworks drawing to a lighting console or visualizer to program a show (see Exporting MVR files). If the MVR file is modified in the lighting console or visualizer, the modifications can be imported back into Vectorworks to update the original drawing. For example, if fixtures are added and renumbered or a drum kit is moved offstage, these changes can be merged with the Vectorworks drawing while preserving the original Vectorworks geometry.

Parametr	Opis
Import Mode	Select which information to import from the MVR file. ● Import Data only imports only the lighting device parameter data. ● Import Geometry only imports only the geometry. ● Import Data & Geometry imports both the data and the geometry.
Update Existing Objects only	Updates only the existing objects in the Vectorworks drawing with the imported data and/or geometry
Object Types	Select which type(s) of objects to export to the MVR file. The available objects depend on the contents of the file and the selected import options. Count indicates how many objects of each type are present in the file. A check mark next to each Object Type indicates that it will be imported.

If a new GDTF device is placed in the drawing at import, it displays as a thumbnail from the .gdtf file. To replace it with a standard lighting device symbol, see Replacing instruments .
