Vectorworks and PRG Partner to Add Content and Capabilities to Vectorworks Spotlight SoftwareAs a part of their shared commitment to empower today's entertainment designers, Vectorworks, Inc. and Production Resource Group (PRG) announce that they will collaboratively develop and implement new features for Vectorworks Spotlight software. More specifically, PRG will work with Vectorworks' research and development team to develop new tools and object libraries for Spotlight, a CAD software in entertainment design, as well as drive efficient workflows that are crucial to the industry. "Our goal is to provide state-of-the-art technology and tools that enable designers to explore their ideas so they can ultimately develop, document, and communicate designs that create memorable entertainment experiences," said Dr. Biplab Sarkar, CTO of Vectorworks. "We gravitate toward strategic industry partners such as PRG because they are uniquely qualified to provide the resources and services required for our customers." Vectorworks is a provider of developing 3D design technologies for the AEC, landscape, and entertainment industries, including Spotlight software, which helps professionals in the lighting, scenery, set, event, theatre, and exhibit design space balance the need for individual creativity with the requirement for synchronized, accurate design information. Contributing more than 25 years of experience to the partnership, PRG is the world's leading supplier of entertainment and event technology solutions, providing integrated services and equipment, including audio, video, lighting, rigging, staging, and scenery for clients all over the world. With more than 40 offices worldwide, the company has relied on Spotlight software for many years. "In conjunction with the announcement of this partnership comes our initial efforts with creating a large catalog of PRG gear as library content for Spotlight users," said PRG's special operations director Götz Bauer. "The increased content resources will be a tremendous efficiency gain, making the design development and documentation process even faster for lighting, production, and scenic designers." Initial content that will be shared through this partnership includes PRG's own line of production equipment including lighting instruments, consoles, LED panels, trusses, motors, and media servers. PRG is also adding other content from vendors that it represents and supplies, such as Prolyte Truss and Philips Vari-Lite. The growing content library is available initially as a first-access benefit for Vectorworks service select members and can be downloaded at https://serviceselect.vectorworks.net/login_form.
