SoftSymbol™ Reviews

A Customer from Washington DC: January, 2004 "I did the Lab Rep Plot revisions for 2004 with your symbols for VW10. LOVE IT! So does the crew and the union House Elec. We also think the twenty-or-so production teams coming into the Lab this spring (who’ll receive print copies of this drawing) will love it too." "I cannot tell you how happy I am to have SoftSymbols™ - I trust my layouts again since your symbols are the same size as the objects they represent (DUH!) and my drawings look more like my drawings again. Woo hoo!" Excerpt from Lighting Dimensions: Field Template™ SoftSymbols™ for VectorWorks® Dec 3, 2003, 12:00 a.m. ET Field Template™ has now launched SoftSymbols™ for VectorWorks®. Template Master Steve Shelley has used the symbols from his award-winning series of Field Templates™ to craft and upgrade the SpotLight lighting symbol package. Working in conjunction with every major lighting manufacturer, each product line has been re-designed with it’s own distinctive symbol shape. Each hybrid symbol is physically accurate, data-sound, and meticulously shaped. It includes lighting symbols that were previously overlooked, along with icons representing all of the latest products, including Wybron’s Nexera, High End’s Color Command, Coemar’s iflex series, and ETC’s Revolution. SoftSymbols™ is a lighting symbol package built in VectorWorks®, designed to work with either SpotLight or AutoPlot. SoftSymbols™ bridges the gap between the analog and digital worlds; the symbols are based on the same icons used in Field Templates™. Hand-traced corrections on your light plot will match the existing symbols on the printed plot. Not only is each product line completed, entirely new sections have been added to the package. SoftSymbols™ includes the entire Arri™ product line, as well as an extensive array of SpotLight Lighting Positions. The package also introduces 2D Drafting Elements, containing symbols for foggers, headsets, and scale bars. Features include the latest products; over 1,500 symbols, almost twice the number of shapes included in other VectorWorks® packages; over 20 manufacturers; all symbols 12 mill line weight; no color cartridges needed; few internal lines; and the symbols are the physical size of the instruments. The package includes SpotLight Lighting Postions; 2D drafting elements; the 60 page SoftGuide©, explaining the craft and manipulation of VectorWorks® symbols; SoftMaps© that graphically shows all of the symbols; and manufacturer contact information. The mission of SoftSymbols™ is to be the single source for all symbols for all major lighting manufacturers. Since the icon design is guided by a singular clarity of design, the product has been hailed as "The Rosetta Stone of CAD Lighting Symbols." © 2003, PRIMEDIA Business Magazines & Media Inc.
