I'm a little confused. You can place lights but you can't create them? But don't you have to create them before you can place them?

In plain Autocad, the LIGHT command creates lights. Have you tried that?

sorry what I ment is that I need to create light fixtures. I can make a box or a ball but I need to turn it into a light fixture.
when I do a camera view I need to be able to render it so the object actually eluminates.
I know how to place a light. I need to make a neon sign with tubes of light and I do not know how to make that work.
Thanks
Nanette

Oh, well that's completely different. If you were doing this in 3Ds Max I could help you, but I don't do much 3D work in Autocad. Maybe someone else has some suggestions.
