You could check out LXFree as a passable free lighting plot package – it does fairly well with basic plots and will automatically generate fixture lists and the like.

For all of you with scale issues, you’ll definitely need to re-scale each block. I’m in autocad 2010 educational – I run the block editor and re-size using the scale command and a tape measure. Once you’ve got that, you can add a lighting legend and save it as a template. I’ve made templates for each of the venues I’ve designed at in the last six months and it makes you popular with other designers. Remember to leave a blank template with your house tech.

The ETC blocks are worthless as posted here, being that they are not even remotely close to being in scale.

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
