Unit Numbers Disappearing VW 2024

[Pepp2023]

Hello All,

 

I have been updating my venue's light plot in VW 2024. (It was an old file, but I have had few issues. The issue I am currently having is that some of my unit numbers have put themselves behind the lights. I am able to drag the number out and see that it is there, but I cannot bring it to the front. Any advice? Eventually I may have to rewrite the whole plot in a better way anyway, but I am trying to get something ready for guest designers for now.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this ghost?

Can you show an example image? It will help with working out what the problem is.

I have attached two screenshots. One is the plot as is, the other is where I have separated the unit number from the fixture so I can see it.

Have you looked inside the Label Legend symbol to make sure that the Text is above the sample Lighting Instrument symbol? It looks like it is only an issue with one Label Legend symbol.

Hello,

 

If I select a different Label it works with no issue. I can Ungroup the device and bring the number to the front to then regroup it. I tried to then create a new label legend from that light, and it is telling me that either no light is selected, when I select only the light or that too many lights are selected if I include the Dimmer and Channel Number. I can do the work around with the ungroup and regroup, however this is obviously time consuming. Does this make sense to you, or do you have any further advise?

Did you check the Label Legend Symbol in the Labels folder in the Resource Manager? You can edit the 2D component by right-clicking on the symbol listing and selecting Edit 2D component.  Then check the display order within the symbol. I think that for some reason, the sample Lighting Instrument Symbol is above the Unit text within the Label Legend Symbol.

I had to create a new lighting legend. But, I got it working! Thank you for your help! I can't wait to clean the rest of this up!
