Lightwright is a cross between a spreadsheet and a database, developed by JohnMcKernon Software for managing professional lighting-design paperwork. The LWA file extension identifies an automated action file used by the application.
An LWA file contains actions that Lightwright can perform automatically. It is a supporting file for Lightwright automation rather than a general-purpose spreadsheet or database document.
The format is associated with the Microsoft Windows version of Lightwright. An LWA file should be used with Lightwright rather than opened independently in a text editor or spreadsheet program.
Open an LWA file in Lightwright on Microsoft Windows. Use the file with Lightwright's automated-action functionality rather than opening it as an ordinary document in a text editor or spreadsheet program.
LWA files are automation files rather than documents intended for interchange, so they generally have no useful conversion to another file format.
To move the automation to another Lightwright setup, use the original LWA file with Lightwright or recreate the actions in that installation.
