Hi Ryan, You've found a bug. The file looks like it was originally from an older version of VW. I'm not sure if that's the issue. But it should still work, no doubt. I tend to use an actual symbol instead of the label legend, which is currently working. Here's a video. Best, Scott TypSymbol.mp4

PS, your label legend doesn't have any field checked to be used. You'll need that to see info on the plot.

Change the Universe from the letter B to a number. For the math to work, you need to use a number.

Ah, you want to change the DMX footprint to 10 slots per unit? Simply change the number to 10.

Spotlight Numbering.mp4 I saw your issue pop up when I had the universe set with a limit. Without a limit, it worked for me. Here's a video showing manual and circular numbering.

And confirming, after you click OK, you're clicking on each lighting unit and double clicking on the last light???

Please post a sample file so I can look at it.

Do you mean to use both the DMX footprint and put an additional 10 DMX channel buffer between the units? How many DMX channels does the unit have?

Hello Michael, Yes, there was a change, and classes were not included in the filtering system. I apologize for this oversight, and it's on my list for the future. To use the current tool, I suggest using layers or hanging positions to filter by. You could make each movie set into a hanging position and quickly add a mini-position summary for each. I think you'll find it robust once you get used to it. Update four, which has some additional improvements, should be released soon. As time is likely of the essence, you could add the old version back to your workspace via the edit workspace tool, and you'll find the instrument summary in the list of legacy tools. I'm happy to chat if you need some help. Thanks, Scott

To add the image, you'll need to add an image column. The symbol images shown in the video isn't actually part of the create worksheet process. It's a good idea and I'll add it to our list of enhancement requests. Here's a video on how to add the image column. Thanks, Scott 2024-03-12_13-15-22.mp4

Would you please post a sample file?

Can you copy a light and the legend into a file and post it here for us to look at?

Hold down the Alt key to jump out of the path at any point before the end. Click outside the path to set the exit point and then connect to the object you're connecting to. It's not automatic yet.

Hi Luke, The issue is the symbol. For some reason, it was built vertically instead of horizontally. While I don't know when Global Truss might make an updated symbol, here's a video showing how to make the changes needed for this top bar. I've also attached the file in which I made the changes. You'll need to do the edits to the other symbols as well. EditUTormBartoHorizontal.mp4 U-Torm Test.vwx

Correct, worksheets are not live. This is a performance issue. Imagine having a boatload of worksheets and all of them having to be updated when anything in the drawing changes.

In the Count column, click the little box in the worksheet cell in row 3, then check the Sum Values box. Uncheck the Summarize Items in the same column.

Yes. Let me know if it works for you.

The fastest workaround I use for this is to do a column of numbers in Excel and then copy/paste into the VW worksheet. Shifting numbering in VW is a good idea, and I'm adding it to my list.

Was this file built recently? Or, is it possible the original file was built in a prior version of VW? Either way, what happens if you import the layers from your file into a new blank file? This sometimes cleans out old issues. If it works, you would then share the refreshed file with your team.

How are you adjusting the dimensions? Are you editing the dimension in the OIP? Or dragging the blue control point in the drawing? Dimensions will likely shift according to their starting point. But, it's possible their based on left to right insertion. I'm not sure. What happens when you try dimensioning from the farthest light from the CL towards the CL on the Center-Right side? You'd get the same dimensions, but they'd have their starting points reversed and should respond as how you're trying to do. Side note: have you tried @Sam Jones's dimension tool for pipes? I use it as it's very fast. When I shift a pipe's lights, I delete all the dimensions and run his tool again.

Luke, would you please share a file showing this issue? It's easier for us to assist with the actual file. Thanks, Scott

Christiano, would you please send me a file with your results? I'm working on some snapping improvements and this file would help helpful. Thanks, Scott

fyi, as this is a new bug, it'll likely take a little time to fix. It won't be in the next update. Sometime afterwards.

It's not your symbol. This is working in viewports set to shaded mode. But not in final-quality render mode. It's a bug that I've just reported. To test, I made a file with only a light bulb object and played with the viewport settings. The viewport set to FQ render mode refused to see the class override. You're welcome to play if you'd like.
