I can send you and Scott C. Parker a file through DM please.
Making new versions of your symbols and saving them as Red PIO symbols worked in my testing. See DM.
Nice file!

have customized some plug-in hoist symbols from the VW library and attached the EntEquipUniversal record to them with different sets of data for each plug-in symbol.
Please post a sample file to play with.

Do you have a workflow/use case example in mind? You can obtain so many items via linked text fields inside the title block that it's almost like the title block is already a de facto data tag.

Let me know if I can provide anything to help, I
Thanks. Test files like the one at the start of this thread, which includes attempts to use Data Viz settings, would be helpful.

Would Data Vis being incorporated into Graphic Legends be something we can expect to see released with a future update by chance?
I haven't played with this, so I don't know if it's already supported. I'd need a test file to play with. If it doesn't work, it's a great suggestion to add to our wish lists.

That's work, but it can be useful to save a numbers of template for different type of information.
Maybe in a future update of this tool.
In my main template file, I have several different summary keys, each in different layers for my different departments. Lighting, rigging, electrics, etc. Then, I have them in sheet layers via viewports for each type of paperwork.
If I use the same objects/symbol that are in the saved summaries, all I need to do is remember to refresh them and I'm good to go.

Is there a VE? Or should I make one?
I don't know if we have one yet. Never hurts to have more. Thanks.

I think you can do this in the Equipment Summary Key. I would think it should also work in the legend. Can you post a sample file to play with?
-
If you create a summary key in a template file and you use the same symbols you used when you created the key, it should be present each time you start a file using the template.

What happens when you give this a try?

It would be a great feature to be able to add multiple hoists
I've had success with using duplicate along path and with duplicate array for hoists and using the centerline of the truss as the path.

I do not understand how this is not found in alpha or beta testing.
It was. Added yours to the list.

If people out there really want to rotate hoists and/or there is a desire for consistency across tools then sure, but the Lighting Device tool has now gained a single click mode...which we've now lost from the Hoist?
I'm working on a task to add the single and distributed functions now avail w lights to the hoists. It'll take some time.

@Stefan B. You've found a bug. I've reported it. Thanks, Scott

not a Spotlight person, but do you just want a C-Clamp like this. If yes, I will post file.
This is a nice symbol. Have you made versions with various sized opening of the screw jaw? I would use these when making drawings of scenery that's held together using these. As seen here.

removing the legend worked!
Would you mind sharing a sample file showing this issue? We'd like to know if this is an actual bug that needs to be fixed or if it's a scaling issue between layers, etc.
Thanks, Scott

Does the instrument summary have the ability to group same-lensed 575w and 750w source4 lights into the same inventory quantity?
Sort of. It depends on how you are managing your symbols and the wattage info. If you're simply changing the wattage of the symbol and don't care about showing it on the plot, other than a legend or tag, the symbol remains the same. If you use the actual symbol in the resource library with the 750W cap, then it's a separate symbol. You get a bit creative depending on how you want to show the info and how you want to report it.
Here, I have 11 bodies of a 26° light. In the symbols area, I have 10 at 575 and one w 750. In the Plug-in area, you see I also have 11 bodies, but I've entered different wattages in the wattage/power field of the light.
On the right, I have 60 bodies at 575 and just three with different wattages. Notice that "750" is treated differently than "750 W"

At the moment, I'm using hoist symbols instead of the hoist PIO (and losing all of the associated braceworks functionality) to ensure that the hoists end up in the correct positions.
I haven't tried this, but if I wanted to do what you're doing, I would try it...
Have you taken a hoist and edited the hoist symbol's overall shape to give a visual offset? I'm wondering if you place a larger invisible shape in the symbol and then move the visible parts to one side; the middle of the symbol would snap to the middle of the truss, but the visual image of the hoist would be offset.Braceworks would still calculate based on the centerline of the load objects.
Yes, it's a workaround until when/if the feature can be developed.

I'm not saying you guys need to do some crazy re-engineering

When I have a light that is rotated in the X plane (i.e. yoked up), the label legend and the location of accessories both display incorrectly in schematic view.
Could you send me a test file I can share with the programmers?

abel legend and the location of accessories both display incorrectly in schematic view. This was not an issue in VW 2023.
I discovered this the other day and filed a bug.
On 8/2/2024 at 8:14 AM, BScott said:I've tried several times to submit this as a bug but the form doesn't seem to be working
Please post a screenshot of what you see with the non-working form so I can submit an internal bug report.
Thanks, Scott

hoists snap to red hoist connection points or loci.
This is the hoist and truss establishing their connection for load calculations. What kind of modification are you looking for?

Problem when copying objects from a project to another project!
in Entertainment
Posted
Try these steps before doing the copy and paste.
What happens?
If it worked, what happened is the pasted object was able to find the symbol and record in the current (new) file and placed it as expected.
If it didn't work, it's a bug and we would want the file.
As @klinzey mentioned, you shouldn't have the issue in 2025.
