This is the second script $inputFilePath = "\\path\localaccounts\path.txt" in the picture is the result that i achieved. i need 2 columns one for computer name and one for members. LXFree, Softplot, WYSIWYG, AutoCad (additional plug-ins and symbols.

ia am stuck in the end i can't figure out how to do the columns in the csv. Those that meet the theatrical lighting designer specific needs include MacLux Pro. The printed scale is wrong if you are not zoomed to 100% on screen before selecting print.So i have a 2 scripts in power shell on is to get the users from the local admin group (that works fine) and another script that is meant to convert the txt file from the first script and export it to csv file. * - I don't know what this step really does but lets me see whole drawing.Īnnnnnd I just realised something that makes me think this really isn't a tool I wan't to use too much. Randomly changing the page size to A3 and back again seems to fix it! Sometimes it seems to be to the wrong scale, as in first go my 14.5m wide plan should not fit on one sheet at 1:50, but it does. If you select File -> print it will show you what a mess it's made of putting it on a printed page. Rename layer to "ground plan" and create new layers above it for fixtures etc. Select image, File -> Format -> Trasform -> Scale enter ratio in both horrid and vert, then OK Work out ratio (original dimension / measured dimension * 100 ) "do something with the working area" by inspector -> page -> setup -> cog icon -> "Match Contents"*ĭraw line along known dimension on drawing to a record length of line. Import the pictures File -> import -> graphic Start a new drawing and check units are correct in inspector -> page -> coordinates

I've just been through setting up a drawing again from my notes and this seems to be my full process, but something is amiss with the pages sizes. I have found the white box is related to the print area, but can be a bit odd and inconsistent! Especially after importing a graphic it means very little, you'll need to scale your image, unless you're extremely lucky! First used it when I had a drawing sent to me it it, which you guessed it was all out of scale.

No expert here either, I just hoped it would be better than it is, but it's free so hey-ho. To drag everything at once you need to make all layers selectable by ticking all the boxes in the right hand column of the layers tab, then select-all. Is there a lot of white space on the edge of the ground plan image, that's pushing the useful stuff off the page? I'm probably misunderstanding you so apologies in advance if I'm pointing out the obvious.ĭoes the ground plan you are using fit on a piece of A4 1:50? if not you can select "Match Contents" from the cog icon on the page setup tab of the inspector which should show you the whole thing and position it across multiple A4 pages. It'll be quicker to do it the old way on stencil.Īt this rate, I may just have to go back to a clean start and simply do an unscaled plan just with bars and lights. I did try it and got the groundplan blown up more which then made the symbols 'fit', but theres only a little bit of the plan showing on the A4 working area, and when I drag around, the groundplan moves but the bars and lights dont.īloody hell. Hope this helps, it's not super accurate, but was near enough for my uses. Work out a scaling % against the original and use the Format->Transform->Scale. Import the image of the ground plan and measure a known distance on it by using the line drawing tool. The scale is fixed at either 1:48 for imperial units selected in the "coordinates" tab in the inspector, or 1:50 for metic units, and the symbols are fixed to that. In my limited use of LXFree I've found scaling to be tricky, but someone with more experience could easily prove me wrong! Is there anyway to scale the symbols and reduce / increase the size of them? The groundplan on A4 size is 1:50, which is fine - but then when I drop a lighting symbol onto the plan, its not in scale. ( I think that was the only way to do it ). I've converted the groundplan of venue into a JPEG and imported it into Lxfree as a 'graphic'. Im having to use LX Free for the moment to do a plan and Im having a problem.
