Filter in Equipment Summary Key breaks the equipment order.


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I use one Layer per lighting set.

For each Layer, I have a dedicated Legend.
In this Legend, I sort my equiment in a logical order for me. Always the same order (hard work when having a lot of references).
In VW2023, I did that by setting a main Instrument Summary, then copying/pasting it and filtering it by layers.
Used equipment was displayed, unused was in blue. I could change filters, come back. Perfect! 👍


In VW2025, I use the filter feature of the Equipment Summary Key but unused equipment is now REMOVED (no more in blue).
So, my order is LOST if I change the filter again. 🥵
Am I doing someting wrong? Or is it a huge regression?

Hello Scott,
Here is a sample file comparing ESK (VW2025) and former Instrument Summary (VW2023).
The behavior of FILTER feature is NO MORE good in the ESK.

Other strange difference:
The ESK is using the Inst Type info to display the name of the equipment (look at the green Fresnel 1K)
while Instrument Summary is using the Model Name. 😵
Why?

Keep sorted equipment after filtering .vwx

Hi Nalo,

It's a regression. I have a list, and this one is high on it. Your file is very helpful. I don't have a workaround for this other than using the filter in each layer to show what is currently in the layer and building the ESK for each layer.

Best, Scott
