Legacy Hoist Origin Has No Graphic

[Sam Jones]

When I place a "Legacy Hoist Origin" object, only the "Cable ID" gets placed.  No graphic identifying the location of the hoist origin is placed (shown?).  This kills the Legacy Hoist as an option.  What am I missing?  I hope I'm missing something.

Since the the "Legacy Hoist Origin" is legacy we have not updated anything about the tool and discontinued testing. The legacy tools are delivered as-is  to provide legacy support for translated documents.
It's likely looking for a symbol named 'Hoist Origin Symbol' in a file in .../Libraries/Defaults/Hoist Tools/ that no longer exists. If you add a symbol named 'Hoist Origin Symbol' to the active document or to a file in .../Libraries/Defaults/Hoist Tools/ the geometry should show.

I can confirm that this will work.  Thanks. 

 

FWIW, if VW is going to include the legacy hoist, what would be the effort cost to put such a symbol in the folder mentioned in the shipping version?  Hmm?
