  1. @Peter Telleman I don't have a direct answer other than it's something to do with the modified truss symbols you're using. I played for a while trying to figure out what but I failed. To confirm the calculations would work outright, I built two similar frames using Tomcat and Christie truss. They both calculated as expected. 
    Here's the file I played with. Your custom symbols might not match anymore as I was making edits. 
    Tomcat is grey as we don't have the structural info. The Christie frame is green as we do have the structural info.

  2. If you widen the report window, you'll see the lights are not connected to the truss system. Braceworks will only report on items that are fully snapped to the supporting truss system.
    We have a few videos here that would be helpful to take a look at. https://university.vectorworks.net/course/index.php?mycourses=0&tagfilter[category]=content+category-5-entertainment&tagfilter[type]=0&tagfilter[difficulty]=0&search=braceworks&langfilter[]=0#coursestab

    Basically, you have placed the lights along the front of the truss, but not actually snapped them to the truss..

    Any suggestions where I'm going wrong?

    Please share a file so I can play.

    is there an option to align all the symbols along a central line instead of left aligned? 

    What release/build are you working in?

    Ran into this issue today as well, following for updates

    @tragge8 What happens when you place a summary key in a new drawing? The underlaying file you're using was originally built five years ago. Not that this should cause issues, but it does on occasion. Let me know please.

    The Equipment Summaries imported to the sheet layers correctly but once I started editing them this issue occurred.

    We are hunting a bug and this file helps. For now, I recommend placing a viewport of a summary key in your rigging design layer over the title block area. The Summary key is working as we wish in Design layers. Sorry, no; you can't place viewports inside the title block style. It'll have to sit over the title block on sheet layers for now.

    I have a lighting truss 1 2 3, and I want to make a separate worksheet on each lighting trusses

    It sounds more like you're looking for an instrument schedule based on each truss. If you create a report and use the Criteria window to limit the worksheet to each truss, you'll get what I think you're looking for.

    slight mis match on the truss but it seems like a forever loop if a try to snap it all again... 

    I played with your file and changed the number shown below to 10mm and it all worked. It's like a forgiveness setting. 🙂
    Keep in mind that it can get you in trouble when two truss systems you don't want to be connected together are within the accuracy limits.

    . I have increased the font size to 300pt and this has fixed it

    Did you do the delete thing and insert into a design layer process I mentioned? I'm bug hunting and if this process works, it's helpful to know.

  9. Is this in a sheet layer or design layer? If you started in a sheet layer...

    Delete all summary keys.

    Insert a summary key in a design layer. If the text looks like line, adjust the text via the three text formatting buttons.

    Once placed in the design layer and the text is visible, placing new summary keys in sheet layers should work.

    Please let me know how this goes.
    If this doesn't work, please share with me a file.

     

    Thanks, Scott

  10. Have you played with using the slice/split tool instead of the aisle tool to separate the seating into separate sections? It might serve you better.
    Can you share a file for testing? Just the seating layer.

    For the manual option, either user one of the User Fields or attach a custom record the the first Fixture in each position and manually enter the Hanging Position into that field for the first fixture.  Then in Column A, use the field that only has data from the first fixture.

    Please post a sample file showing how you used the User Field or a custom record mentioned above. It'll help us explain how to get where you need to be.

  12. How did you build your data tag? It sounds like it might not be associated with the LED screen. 
    I find the easiest way is first to select the object to which you wish to attach the data tag and then use the "create data tag style" command under the tools menu. This makes sure the data tag will be associated with my object. If I created my data tag for a TV, it won't work with an LED screen.
    With that said, you can use the small triangle of the data tag to "associate" the data tag to the LED screen. Perhaps that will fix the issue.
    Do you have a sample file you can share?

    Como você construiu sua etiqueta de dados? Parece que ela pode não estar associada à tela LED.
    Eu acho que a maneira mais fácil é primeiro selecionar o objeto ao qual você deseja anexar a etiqueta de dados e depois usar o comando "criar estilo de etiqueta de dados" no menu de ferramentas. Isso garante que a etiqueta de dados estará associada ao meu objeto. Se eu criar minha etiqueta de dados para uma TV, ela não funcionará com uma tela LED.
    Dito isso, você pode usar o pequeno triângulo da etiqueta de dados para "associar" a etiqueta de dados à tela LED. Talvez isso resolva o problema.
    Você tem um arquivo de exemplo que pode compartilhar?
