Is there anyway to import cordinates of luminaires from Vectorworks to DIALux evo?

Post by Yo Yana » Mon Jan 16, 2023 8:32 am

Hi there.

Is there a way to import corinates of luminaires from CAD software (Vectorworks) to DIALux evo?

Let me firstly explain my work prodecure.
Sometimes, I need to do lighting calculation based on the luminaire layout plan which was created by my customer.
Those luminaire layout plans are often drawn by Vectorworks(VW), and the luminaires in the data are cosidered as "symbols" in VW.

So I would be so happy if I can make use of those symbols' cordinates not only in VW but also DIALux evo.
Is there any way to bring those corinates into DIALux evo?
Another words, I don't want to place luminaires both in VW and DIALux evo.

If you know any solution or tips, please let me know.
(Instead of "symbols" of VW, if "blocks" of AutoCAD works, that helps too!)

Hello Yo,

Unfortunately, this is not possible in evo. We are adding this topic as a new item in our evo improvement list.

Best regards,

Hello DIAL,

Much appreciated for your prompt reply.
The addition of this feature would be super helpful.

Looking forward to seeing it in the future version.

Thank you.
