Ben3B Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Hello I discover again the instrument summary and try to learn in depth 😉  I filter it by position here LX01 , but is a way to show that filter in the summary . For now the only way I've found is to put the position name in title , but be careful for mistake ... Is it possible to put a dynamic text in the title who is the position name ?   An other problem is the position height , who is still 0 but rigging system are at 6 and 5 meters... (as you can see on the datatag )   an other problem is the weight of fixture who doesn't appear in summary EDIT I found inconsistency between OIP and info in lighting symbol maintenance  If I edit the symbol and put the weight in the light info record M It works  But is a way to view the unit ?  and why that inconsistency between infos ???  thanks     Edited December 8, 2022 by Ben59 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted December 13, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 13, 2022 You can use a Data tag to display the position that the summary is set up to display, choose the active filter parameter of the Instrument summary object when you set up the tag. This can also be used as another route to change the filter setting as well!  As far as I can tell the position height and fixture weight options are broken, I'll get a bug report opened  1 Quote Link to comment
Ben3B Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hello one other problem, If I use data vis for lighting , the instrument summary disappeared, It only stay 2 fixture ghost ... only cancel works ...  Will instrument summary still developed with the new graphic legend who can do the same with more control ?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee jcogdell Posted December 20, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 20, 2022 The easiest way is to select the instrument summary and then run the create data tag style command. and in the dialogue choose the active filter parameter.
