SoftSymbols™ are feature-rich:

All of the symbols match the physical size and shape of the lighting instruments (so you can see when you’re trying to fit the 10-pound bag of lights into the 5-pound bag).

All the basic symbols are the same outlines as Field Templates™ (when you make a correction on the light plot using a Field Template™, it matches the existing symbols on the plot.)

All the symbols are simplified to outlines instead of filled with lines (takes it easy on your ink cartridges, and there’s no internal lines getting in the way of data text.)

All the symbol bodies are simplified to black, white, or greyscale (so you don’t need color cartridges.)

All symbol names are shortened (so you can read them with a squished Resource Browser.)

Followspots actually look like hand-drafted followspots.

Striplights actually look like hand-drafted striplights.

But wait, Conrad. There’s more; SoftSymbols™ comes with a plethora of stuff to make Spotlight even better:

Oh my Goodness, Let Me Have Them

Ugh. Take Me Back to Land of Plastic

FINE PRINT STUFF

SoftSymbols are a collection of VectorWorks resources, and contain no program elements. They are designed to work with the add-on toolkits SpotLight or AutoPlot. They are designed to work with either VectorWorks 10, 11, or 12, and can do so without either of the toolkits.

They CAN’T design your plot.
They CAN’T do your laundry.
They CAN make your plots look like a million bucks.
