Did you add the containers to the legend in the 2d layout?
Or did you check the container option in the create label legend dialogue in the Spotlight label legend manager? -
Have you come across ConnectCAD?
It's more suited towards AV workflows. You can create a signal flow diagram of your speakers and associate circuits with drawn cables on the audio speaker layer.
The cable tools are really geared to power and mains distribution (for now at least).

Hi Christiano,
Have you tried contacting tech support? They should be able to jump on a call with you.
The settings in your screenshot look correct.
Try the reset plugins command in the Tools Utilities menu. -
The closest you get to selection order is specifying the direction 'manual'.
-
This would definitely be an MA question. Other software companies support MVR merge but as for MA's implementation of this workflow you will have to ask them.

I am not sure what has happened to your file.
Its possible someone has edited the default parameters in the Spotlight Settings, Did you start from a template file?
I wouldn’t worry too much, if it happens again in a new blank file then let us know.- 1

Fix.vwxStill not sure what the problem is.
The Universe/Address parameter in Spotlight Settings 'Default' Value had some spaces in it. A refresh Instruments corrected the issue.
If this happens again, contact tech support.

Pretty sure this is possible but has a unique workflow.
@Scott C. Parker
Didn't you have a video for this? -
Do you mean data visualisation?
-
Can you share the file? Or a copy of that fixture in a new blank file.
-
Also, Vectorworks won't always default to the correct graphics card, so also check that graphics switching is using the dedicated card.
If this is still an issue contact tech support directly so we can start a case. -
criteria should be 'object type truss' and check inside plug in objects and inside symbols.
as for the system name we still have the same issue @jgulbrandsen mentions above.
If you used geometry instead of symbol you could assign a different system name to each truss inside each hanging position.
This workflow may be easier without using hanging positions and using either truss system or position name on the truss objects.
We are continuing to develop this workflow as a priority. -
Possibly, I always 'use geometry'. instead of making a symbol so might explain why I had not seen this.
-
This could be an origin issue, Would be good to double check.

Hi Martin, Can you post a file?
-
Thanks Johnathan.
I was referring to Erik @Sam Jones
Move by points was the only 'tool' I could think of. -
This is a good question. I think the last time I looked into this I created a flatfish (invisible Truss Symbol).
So I could use 'Change Trim Height Of System'
It's not the best solution but it works. -
Align and Distribute will only align what's already there.
I think you mean 'Move by Points' -
I am taking about choosing between Auto plane or Layer plane.
" (Front Elevation POV),"
If Mike is drawing in a front view for the first time its likely that he still has layer plane toggled.- 1
-
Be sure to specify the working plane before drawing, There is also a set working plane tool.
Or draw It all in top/plan, extrude and rotate.- 1

The only way to do this would be to remove the fill from the other 2d components that you don't want Data vis to fill and leave the fill of the objects that you want coloured.
And then set Data Vis to apply a fill.
it does not apply fill to classes. -
Hi Chris, it does not shorten the list only what objects get selected.
We are working on Data Vis, there is an existing enhancement request to update the list using criteria.
All the bestTom W

You can also pick individual colors in the DV dialog, and then export that as a palette to make it easier to reuse your chosen colors in a future DV scheme.

Thanks Rick, was not aware of that. -
In terms of a long list of symbols I also add additional criteria such as class and/or Record Format is present or even 'Field Value' is. Or even Symbol name 'Contains'.
Providing you have setup your file and workflow diligently then extra criteria can be applied which can help you filter further.
