Powerful 2D drafting tools are at the core of LD Assistant. LDA includes built-in database with work sheets for producing paperwork and equipment lists. The same 2D & 3D tools found in LD Assistant are used by 9,000,000 designers and architects to create their working drawings. Changes to your 2D plan will automatically be reflected in your 3D model and in the schedule.
|
LD Assistant offers an extensive array of advanced menu commands and tools for 2D drafting, including on-screen feedback with the OSNAP, POLAR and OTRACK tools, which identifies end points, intersections, snaps and tangents as you draw.
Clear, clean plots
Produces clean plots every time. When you are ready to hand the design back to an architect, you won't have to worry about if it will open - or any other compatibility issues. LD Assistant is built with Autodesk® technology, so it's 100% compatible!
Schedules
Easily define the data for a schedule. When data is modified in the schedule, it is instantly updated in the drawing. Built-in spreadsheets and databases make it simple to create schedules. LD Assistant allows you to import and export lighting information to and from spreadsheet programs including Microsoft Excel® and Lightwright, or use our built-in spreadsheets and database technology to generate your paperwork.
LD Reports™
This Excel based workbook gives users all the flexibility Excel offers in an easy to use workbook. While the built-in schedules in LD Assistant are easy to use and are interactive with the drawing, at some point the data may need to be exported to another external database program. LD Reports offers ease of use, speed and flexibility in an easy to use Excel workbook.

Sound
Choose from over 400 sound cabinets to complete your design. EAW®, EV® X-Series, JBL VerTec®, Apogee®, MSL, Myers and Turbosound® are only a few of the sound cabinets that are included with the program. Or stop by a manufacturer’s website and download their blocks to use in LD Assistant.
Video Projectors & Cameras
Through a simple dialog box, LD Assistant makes the projector and screen. You only have to decide what image you want on the screen. LD Assistant tools are designed to streamline every phase of your design process.
Wire& Cable
Work in the 2D view and draw in a cable run. Then view the cable run from any 3D view. LD Assistant tracks cable ID, tape color, Multi-Length, Jumper#1, 2 & 3. Built-in spreadsheets and database technology easily generates customizable reports and paperwork
Easily Rotate Truss in Any Direction
When you decide to stand a truss section vertically with LD Assistant, you will never be limited in how you rotate a truss; it just rotates! |

 |
|
With powerful 3D modeling and presentation tools, you can design ideas in almost any form you can imagine. Simply push/pull faces, edges, and vertices to model complex shapes, add smooth surfaces. 3D tools include true Boolean operations, Loft, sweep, extrude, extrude along path, revolve, 3D array, helix, slice, 3D polyline 3D Orbit and other high-end 3D CAD features.
|
| With LD Assistant you can design and shape the world of lighting with powerful and flexible 3D tools found in LD Assistant software, one of the world’s leading Entertainment Lighting and Event Planning software products. With robust 3D tools that can create almost any shape imaginable, LD Assistant helps you intuitively explore design ideas.
3D Navigation tools allow you to view objects in a drawing from different angles, heights, and distances. Use the following 3D tools to orbit, swivel, adjust distance, zoom, and pan in a 3D view.
- 3D Orbit. Moves around a target. The target of the view stays stationary while the camera location, or point of view, moves. The center of the viewport, not the center of the objects you’re viewing, is the target point.
- Constrained Orbit. Constrains 3D Orbit along the XY plane or the Z axis.
- Free Orbit. Orbits in any direction without reference to the planes. The point of view is not constrained along the XY plane of the Z axis.
- Continuous Orbit. Orbits continuously. Click and drag in the direction you want the continuous orbit to move, and then release the mouse button. The orbit continues to move in that direction.
- Adjust Distance. Changes the distance of objects as you move the cursor vertically. You can make objects appear larger or smaller, and you can adjust the distance.
- Swivel. Simulates panning with a camera in the direction that you drag. The target of the view changes. You can swivel the view along the XY plane or along the Z axis.
- Zoom. Simulates moving the camera closer to an object or farther away. Zooming in magnifies the image.
- Pan. Starts the interactive 3D view and enables you to drag the view horizontally and vertically.
