ABS 2007: Rendering lights that work
When rendering electrical light devices, one of the issues that
comes up is they do not generate any…light. With ABS 2007, the
basic rendering capabilities supplied by AutoCAD begin to
address this. Light devices can be brought in to a library
drawing, and, using the AutoCAD Dashboard, point and spotlights
can be overlaid directly on top of each one.
It is then a simple process to make a block of each pair, and
save the drawing as a library drawing.

The blocks can then be inserted (exploding on insert) or brought in with
the design center, instead of using the device palette under
electrical. If you wish, you can insert the blocks in your own palette.

Then, simply align
the view you wish to capture, reposition the spotlights if you wish, and
render.
