Hi, Dan.

If all you're doing is changing instrument attributes, you may be better 
off downloading the latest VW educational version. The fixture 'symbol' 
attributes in VW are handled VERY differently than 'block' attributes in 
ACAD - possibly worked around, but after 29 years as an ACAD user, I 
wouldn't be interested in trying a conversion.
