Now that color printing has come down in price it is not unusual to have access to a large format color printer.

I have rigorously debated this topic for several years now and know I am still in the minority. I saw this first on a hand drafted plot by Donald Thomas and adapted it to cad.Ĥ. I then that mark and shade it or fill it in, which makes it really easy to see the difference from further away from the plot. I do two things to the symbol, I add a mark in the barrel of the symbol and use the USITT recommended practices to denote the field angle.

Once you get a couple feet away from the plot its hard to tell the difference in symbols. I work in a lot of houses with the ETC Source 4 instrument and Vectorworks uses small gray letters to show the difference between a 36degree and 50degree. The other change I make to the symbols has to do with the instrument field angle degree. 5mm line weight but have used anywhere form. First the basic symbols in Vectorworks have a very thin line and they tend to get lost in a light plot. Don’t use the standard Vectorworks lighting symbols.

In the case of the magic sheet I can reuse the set and space drafting I did for the plot and when the set gets an update I make one change that updates my plot and magic sheet.ģ. By turning on and off classes I can get to the information quickly. I don’t have to take lots of time jumping from one file to the next. I have found its easier to have all the data in one location. I create a file that contains not only the plot but section and magic sheet. I use classes to manage my line weights but also to organize my plot for several different uses.
