Label Legend Containers

[Tom Lightbody]

I'm trying to use Containers as part of my label legends but they're not doing what I'd expect.

 

When I have no channel information on a unit, they seem to behave - ie I have a filled circle where the channel number would be (nb I've created the fill in the "Circle" container symbol).

 

As soon as I add any channel info the container follows whatever the style is that I have set for the Channel label itself. In this example blue, with no fill. I've tried following Class Style, and manually setting all the style parameters, but it makes no difference.

 

What's particularly strange is that in Schematic views it shows up exactly as I would expect - namely the text does whatever I've told it to do in terms of style, and the container displays exactly as it is in the Symbol.

Check Spotlight Preferences. Make sure that this is not the active preference.

Thanks Mark, that solved it.

 

Still doesn't explain why it behaves differently in schematic views mind 😉

For some reason, Schematic Views never inherited ALL the 2D capabilities of their parent devices. I am afraid I don't know why........ (sigh emoji!)
