All-in-one software for design, document, and production.
Freely design your lighting, visualise the set, and automatically create documentation.
Spotlight puts together three elements: design, visualise and document.
Spotlight gives you access to any type of light available. They even say, if you find a light that’s not in their database, tell them about it and they’ll create it for you. So you get the ease of choosing your lights and placing them wherever you want.
Whether you work in lighting, event, TV, film, rigging, or exhibition design, Spotlight enables you to design in 2D and 3D allowing you to clearly communicate and effectively share your ideas.
Sketch, model, and document your design ideas with precision drafting capabilities and the most flexible 3D modelling engine, powered by SIEMENS Parasolid.
Take advantage of purpose-built tools with a huge library of lighting, audio, video, scenic, and rigging manufacturer content so you can create detailed 2D and 3D plots and automate paperwork to meet tight deadlines.
Vectorworks allows you to easily collaborate and share files with colleagues, consultants, and clients.
Project sharing means your entire team can work on the same Vectorworks file at the same time, leading to greater efficiency at every design phase
Experience smooth communication workflows through Vectorworks Cloud Services and mobile rendering, storage, and file sharing.
Produce remarkable line drawings and stunning 3D presentations that will impress even the toughest of clients.
Create an immersive presentation experience with cutting-edge technology like virtual and augmented reality and rendered panoramas.

Included with Spotlight and Design Suite subscription licences
The power to pre-visualise and cue shows at your fingertips, whether on site or off. Experiment with looks and cues, review options with your clients, and get buy in — all before load in.
Do I need to own some other CAD program to use Vision? Instead of replicating functionality, Vision takes care of the pre-visualisation whilst Vectorworks deals with the 3D design. Vision also has plugin support for the latest releases of Vectorworks Spotlight, Vectorworks Designer and 3D Studio Max.
What lighting desks does Vision work with? Vision communicates with a wide array of DMX consoles, including the MA2, Hog, ETC EOS, and many more that can send ArtNET or sACN NET protocols over an ethernet connection. And you can also work offline with Windows support for hog3, MA1&2, and many other consoles.
