Instruments offset in schematic view not displaying properly

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I am drafting a lighting position in VW2022 with lights top hung and bottom hung.  I am using a schematic view to represent them in plan view.  The symbols look fine at the hanging point but when I offset them, part of the symbol information disappears.  Is there a way to fix this?  I'm attaching an image here, showing the WFL PARs at both the hanging poitn and the offset position.

The upload keeps failing, but here's a DropBox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/plydt5mbdjhg7g0/TEMP Spring Dance 2023 REP PLOT v2022.vwx?dl=0

 

There's also a lot of strangeness with label legends appearing differently on different instruments in the schematic view.  This feels like a recent problem since I used essentially this same plot last fall and the spring before without experiencing these issues.  I had tried working with this plot in v2023 for a bit before I got tired of the bugginess and crashing and went back to VW2022.  Maybe something happened in that transition?

2023 is currently more stable than 22 for this workflow, The Lighting Device was completely re-engineered.

Did you repair you user folder when you installed 23?

Have you reset the plugins in the file in version 2023?

 

I will download and take a look.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I appear to be having a similar issue in 2024 update 2, where I seem to be losing the key lines that differentiate beam angles as per the attached screenshot (81+82 are 26deg, 83+84 are 19deg).  I've reset plugins as mentioned above.

What happens if you copy/paste these items into a new/blank file?
What happens if you update the symbols with symbols after you have refreshed your resource manager libraries?
Would you please share a test file?

Hi Scott,

 

As schematics weren't able to copy over to a new file, I drew a fresh file from scratch, attached.  The same issues occurred in a blank file, as shown on the unit channeled 2.  I also included a different bug in where if you over-rig a fixture, the schematic can't line up the channel number and container.  In this symbol in particular, it also appears to mess up the symbol within a symbol and split some line work in the plan view.
