SpotlightVisualizer data mapping

When exporting a Vectorworks file to a lighting console or visualizer, the lighting device data is mapped to different fields, depending on the destination program. The mapping applies when exporting with the Export MVR command, and when exporting to Vision with the Send to Vision or Export ESC commands.
