It does...It's strange because I do not have this issue with every symbol. I'm assuming at this point because they don't have a fixture mode attached to them. Is there a way to default the Fixture Mode parameter to "None" through an attached record or similar? Maybe there should be an option that allow a user to turn off GDTF globally in a drawing so I can set my template file with that. I appreciate your help.

I haven't assigned GDTF modes to anything. The field is set to none. Also, as you can see in this picture, even fixture mode has no effect. I store my custom symbols in a separate file that is under the "Favorites" tab and then import the symbol definition into my working file. I just built a symbol from scratch. When I place the symbol in space in the symbol file, the Num Channels field is available to edit (Screen Shot 2). When I open a new file and drop it in, I have the same issue. When I start a new file, I use a template file that I've created. Could there be some deep buried setting that is causing the issue. I've also attached that file. LD-CDS-V22.0.vwx

I use custom symbols and custom Light Info records for my drawings. When I bring in some fixtures, the num channels field is different than how I've set it up in the record. The field is also greyed out so I can't change it in the OIP. It happens every time with certain symbols and never with the rest. I've verified that the field is correctly set in all the places I know to look. I can fix it by Spotlight>Reports>Lighting Symbol Maintenance>"Update all lighting devices." Problem is when I do that, it also erases the "Channel" field of all my lights. If I've forgotten to check before I start numbering, it creates a lot of double work for me. Any ideas?

The issue went away with VW 2022 SP3. For your notes: - Mac Pro 15 inch running Monterrey 12.1 - Retina Display 2880 x 1800 (It also did it on an external LG UHD 3840x2160) Thanks

I searched and didn't find a thread about this... When patching in the DMX Patch window once you get 9 universes patched, a vertical scroll bar appears so you can view all of your universes. The problem is that the scroll bar covers up the "Last Free Address" field which is very detrimental to patching correctly. Even when I resize the window to where I wouldn't need a scroll bar, the bar remains and I have the same issue. Also, I can't resize the panes inside the window. Am I the only one having this problem? Or I just the only one patching more than 8 universes?
