The standard in entertainment and lighting-design software, VectorWorks Spotlight merges sophisticated 2D drafting and powerful 3D modelling with advanced lighting-design, visualization and production tools. So it's easy to draft light plots, create stunning set designs, automate paperwork and visualize design concepts in 3D. All in one cost-effective, easy-to-learn, easy-to-use application. Whether you're designing lighting for theatrical events, live concerts, corporate events, or museum exhibits, VectorWorks Spotlight has the technology you need to put on a spectacular show.

VectorWorks Spotlight is easier to learn and use than traditional CAD programs. So you can get right down to designing. And since VectorWorks Spotlight is tailored to the lighting and scene and set design production process, it works the way you think. In addition to offering traditional CAD tools, VectorWorks Spotlight allows you to design with real-world lighting, scene and set components. You can easily import base plans, then sketch out your ideas with 2D drawing tools. With VectorWorks Spotlight, you can rework, refine, develop and document your design with lighting instruments, instrument accessories, curtains and even straight and curved trusses, to name a few. All objects are easy to edit and automatically display correctly in 2D and 3D views. So creating 3D models of your 2D drawings is fast and easy.A complete solution

Precision 2D CAD drafting tools and advanced lighting design objects make laying out light plots a snap. You can easily define lighting positions, hang instruments and create instrument position summaries. Advanced tools allow you to easily create multi-circuit instruments, gang instruments, add accessories and even assign instruments to focus areas, as well as show light beams in 2D and 3D and animate lighting cues. Quickly generate light plots

Extensive instrument libraries

With VectorWorks Spotlight, there's no need to purchase separate symbol libraries. You get free access to hundreds of lighting instruments and accessories from more than 17 leading manufacturers, such as Altman, Arri, Clay Paky, ETC, High End Systems, Lycian, Martin, Mole Richardson, Morpheus, NSI, Colortran, Pow Line, Robert Juliate, Selecon, SGM, Strand, Strong, Vari-Lite and Wybron. You get an intelligent label legend manager

Label legends make it easy to define and manage the labels and label formatting for lighting instruments. You can define label fields and easily position them by simply dragging them on or around the instrument. You can give each label its own look by assigning it a font, size, style, justification and color. Once placed, labels can be repositioned by simply dragging them to a new location.Automate paperwork

As you design, VectorWorks Spotlight will track instrument and accessory data used in the light plot. You can automatically generate instrument and colour schedules, as well as channel, dimmer and circuit hookup schedules. You can also create comprehensive inventory reports, magic sheets, color cut lists and hanging cards. Easily share drawings and data

You can export VectorWorks Spotlight data to Excel® and database programs such as Filemaker and Lightwright.¿ VectorWorks Spotlight's Export ASCII Patch command exports dimmer and channel information to a USITT standard ASCII text patch file that can be read by lighting consoles. You can also export and import DXF/DWG files, import digital images into your design and export your drawing and models as digital images, as well as include .3ds models into your scenes. Quickly calculate photometric data

VectorWorks Spotlight automatically calculates and displays the illumination values of an area in either foot-candles or lux. Or you can use the photometer to calculate and display the illumination values at specific elevation points.Create the venue

You can easily import venues as DXF/DWG files and use them as base layers in your design. Or you can use the suite of architectural, scene, stage and set design tools within VectorWorks Spotlight to create venues from scratch. Inside you'll find timesaving objects to help you with adding curtains, erecting trusses and laying out seating areas. VectorWorks Spotlight also includes a suite of building objects, walls, doors, windows, ramps, stairs and more to help you draw your venue. Create scene and set elements

Precision 2D drafting tools and powerful free-form modelling capabilities, combined with an extensive library of architectural scenic objects and a library of detailing tools, allow you to easily mock up and visualize your designs in 3D, as well as create detailed 2D shop drawings. You can also easily create scenic elements such as escape stairs, platforms, trusses and curtains. High-end visualization capabilities

VectorWorks Spotlight and RenderWorks team up to make your designs come to life. Advanced rendering capabilities in RenderWorks allow you to create realistic atmospheric effects by showing light beams, mapping sophisticated textures to objects and adding shadows and digital images as backgrounds. So your 2D designs are transformed into dynamic photorealistic presentations. For softer, more artistic effects, choose one of the RenderWorks non-photorealistic rendering modes. You can choose from more than 3,000 gobo patterns from leading manufacturers, such as Apollo Designs, GAM, Lee, High End Systems and Rosco, or create your own custom gobos. You can also create impressive animations of your scene changes or virtual tours your clients can navigate in real time. With support for ESP Vision¿, you can now simulate your VectorWorks Spotlight designs in real time. ESP Vision's advanced presentation and support for lighting consoles allows you to not only pre-visualize your show but also actually run it. Affordable

It's easy to see why VectorWorks is used by more than 400,000 designers and sold in more than 80 countries-no other software offers so much for so much less.
