Graphic Legends as equipment summary - rotation of lighting devices

[Cookie_NZ]

Hi all,

 

I'm enjoying experimenting with Graphic Legends as an equipment summary.  

 

The legend image seems to select a specific instance of a lighting device to display.  Some of my lighting devices in my file have custom plan rotation, so appear rotated in the graphic legend. 

 

Is it possible to force a graphic legend to ignore custom plan rotation?  

 

Or, is it possible to select a specific instance of a lighting device for the graphic legend to display?

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

Hi Cookie

 

There are two options that I know of:

 

• Try using the Symbol definition as opposed to the Plug-in. 
• The graphic legend will look at the first instance of every Plug-in in the file. I have had some success with selecting a particular Lighting Device that I want to use and then using the Send command to Send it to the Back. That will re-order its position in the database and give you the result you need.
