VectorWorks for Lighting Designers

This workshop will serve as an introduction to the techniques and workflow of computer assisted drafting (CAD) using Vectorworks for theatre design - in particular Vectorworks Spotlight. This workshop will consist of a short lecture regarding the principles of the software. Attendees will then be taken through the creation of a document template, short drawing, as well as the publishing process of this drawing. It is recommended that attendees follow along on the software where possible. Use of an external monitor and mouse are strongly encouraged.
