"Erco" IES Lighting Downloads

[Eric]

I'm curious if anyone can shed some light on something for me. When I use I-drop from the Erco site to drop the Erco light models with IES data into my 3D scene, where does the IES data get stored? I always seem to loose the IES file that goes with a particular light. Is there a better way to download the lights, like to a library on my computer or my file server so the IES data will always be where the light is looking for it?

I tried downloading the entire Erco library with the IES stuff, and the catalog to view to know which light I wanted for my scene, but it seemed like the numbers never matched up for the model numbers. Anyone else experience that?

Un-assemble the luminaire and select the light. In the modify panel go to web parameters and click on the "Web File" button. It will point you straight to where it is located.
