Hi Matthew,

The lighting symbols are all in DWG or DXF format and many free 2D CAD packages support those files. A free version of TurboCAD was available from FreeCAD.com last time I looked, along with other drafting software . Google Sketchup (also free) can import the symbols too.

Thanks

Hi Ivan Thanks for telling us about your scale issues. The files are not provided by On Stage Lighting but are available from the Modelbox website. I didn't know of any problems but they are free. There is also another AutoCAD / DWG lighting symbol resource @ the Cue1 Lighting website.

Thanks a lot for the huge amount of CAD symbols given here. I really appreciate it but, are they on 1:1 scale?

I’ve opened some instruments and stuff with weird scales! For example, there’s a 34ft X 21ft PAR 64 from Altman (Alt-P64nsp.dwg) and a 17′ X 21′ PAR-64 Barn door (Par64-BrnDoor.dwg)

I know how to re-scale them in AutoCAD using the measurements from each product’s technical specs as a guide, but is there a bug or something affecting the real scale on the CAD blocks?

Thanks!
Ivan

Hi Mike,

The symbols belong to Modelbox, who have them available on their website. As the package is fairly old not, I assume that they will not be updated to include newer fixtures.

Thanks for visiting.

Hi there, nice little package you have here of the lighting fixtures.
I was just wondering if you may be updating them soon? to include LED fixtures, moving lights etc?
Once again, thanks nice little package!
