Use the completed example to learn the workflow, then build and export a production pack for your own show. Everything in this guide works during the full 14-day trial.

1. Install the desktop app

On Mac, open the downloaded DMG, move Stage Plot Forge to Applications, and launch it. On Windows, open the Microsoft Store page and choose Install. Both versions are signed and both platforms receive automatic updates.

2. Explore a completed project

Choose Explore Example in the Welcome window. The example is an unsaved working copy, so you can move symbols, change production data, run preflight, and try every export without affecting a source file.

  • Inspect the instruments, microphones, amplifiers, wedges, and power positions.
  • Compare the plot labels with the input and monitor lists.
  • Open Preflight and review the checks before export.
  • Export a stage-plot-only PDF or the full production pack.

3. Create your own stage plot

Return to the Welcome window and choose New Stage Plot. Set the stage dimensions and audience edge, place the largest equipment first, then add performers, inputs, monitors, and requirements.

4. Run preflight and export

Resolve missing labels, duplicate channels, and incomplete show details. Export a vector PDF for the venue, an image for quick sharing, or CSV production lists when the receiving crew needs spreadsheet data.
