Exporting MVR files

The Export MVR command allows lighting and scene designs created in Vectorworks to be exported to a lighting console or visualizer to program a show. The scene elements can be edited directly from a visualizer. These edits, including new objects, object movements, and modified fixture data, can then be merged with the Vectorworks drawing to update the scene. See Importing MVR for more information.

Parameter	Description
Settings	Select which objects to export to the .mvr file. ● All objects in drawing exports all objects. ● Selected objects exports only the currently selected objects. ● Visible objects exports only the currently visible objects.
Object Types	Select which type(s) of objects to export to the .mvr file. The available objects depend on the contents of the drawing and the selected export options. A check mark to the left of each Object Type indicates that it will be exported; click in the Export column to remove a check mark. Count indicates how many objects of each type are present in the drawing.
Fixture Types	Lists the fixtures that will be exported to the .mvr file and displays an item count for each fixture type. The fixtures to export must have a specified fixture mode; see Selecting a fixture mode for details.
