  1. I do not use auto positioning loads because like others have said, it only frustrates me and causes issues. For me it's not just lighting fixtures, but video walls too. I can be editing something and moving stuff around and not even notice something moved, and then all of the sudden trims have changed and deck fixtures are attached to nearby truss. Great concept, poor execution. I turn off "Auto-position loads when created" AND "Auto-position loads when moved" and also set the pick radius to 0" for good measure. As mentioned in a previous post, that is found under spotlight preferences. That keeps things automatically snapping to trusses. Then I use the "Manage Loads" on the rigging tool set to add or remove. I don't know how to do several fixtures with one click. This method you have to click each fixture. Just get it on the truss and then use this tool to add or remove. Note, that I always make my trusses hanging positions before I do this. I don't know if that has anything to do with why that wouldn't be working for you. Anyways, this new workflow is helping me, and keeps me from pulling my hair out and cursing at my screen. Hope that helps.
  2. Where can I find a 20' diameter 12" curved truss from Tomcat? I'm not seeing anything in the premium libraries or VW libraries. Thank you.
  3. Hans-Olav, thank you so much. One more clarification. That is very helpful for the text, but is there a way to adjust the arrow size? When I adjust the text, the arrows are still way too big.
  4. Hi Mark. Thanks so much for your reply. I see how the text can be scaled from objects that are in the design layer, but I'm not looking to scale those. I'm specifically looking to scale the dimensions that I add to the viewport. So not anything that's on the design layer that the viewpoint is showing, just the dimensions that I add in the edit annotations of the viewport. It seems the only way I can do this is to add all the dimensions to a design layer, which I'd rather not do. I like the annotations option in the viewport, but without the ability to scale the dimensions, it is useless for me. Thanks,
  5. Hello, Is there a way to adjust the arrow and text size for dimensions within a viewport on a sheet layer via annotations. I know it auto-adjusts depending on the scale of the sheet layer, but when I have a very large venue and want dimensions, it isn't super helpful when the dimensions are giant. It looks like it defaults to around 9 point font on my scaled drawings, but I need it more like 3 or 4. I can't seem to figure out where the setting is to change that. Thanks!
