Disappearing Inst Labels


Cosmo

Recommended Posts

I've exported to LW, Edited, Exported from LW, and imported into SL (9.01). When I "Refreshed Insturments" all the data--including the insturment numbers and purpose infor I had entered while in SL before exporting--have disapeared fomr the screen. The imported data is available in the Object Info Pallet, but does not show up on the screen.

I've checked the Layers menu and all the label layers are in black pen.

A month ago I cmpleted a plot in Spotlight 8.5 using hte same process without the problem.

Note: When I import to SL with the Import 1st Record box checked, no instruments are updated (they are all selected, as non-updated units should be). I get the invisible data problem when I import WITHOUT the Import 1st Record box checked.

Are all your label classes turned on? Are you in show/snap/modify others for classes? Is your label legend still assigned to the instruments? Most likely when exporting, you exported the label legend field and changed it while in LW? Check the OI palette and make sure the Use Legend field matches the name of your label legend exactly. Or select the instruments and assign them to the legend again.

As for the importing the first record, you are right that it does not work because you exported the field lables as the first record. This is a known error in the manual and there is a posting on the tech board about it.
