Jim T Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 6 fields is just not enough. 2 colors 1 template 1 unit # 1 channel 1 special wattage (750) 1 channel 1 ckt name 1 ckt # = 9 fields for special wattage or 8 for ordinary units. Any way to increase the number of fields??? I am using 9.5.2 Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Yo 6 is enough for me dood Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 All kidding aside - I think you're stuck with 6. I believe you can use the "+" between 2 colors, and it will lay out right on the plot as well as work with Lightwright. That gets you down to 8 - maybe have a seperate symbol for the 575w/750w units - that's 7.... Quote Link to comment
Jim T Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Amazing the lengths you have to go to talk to your neighbor. I kinda figured what you said was gonna be the response. Wanted to avoid making new legends. Now if I could copy and edit.....now THAT would be cool. (as opposed to starting new on EVERY new legend) Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted June 11, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 11, 2003 With Spotlight 10 you can have 8 labels in your legend along with a user selected symbol. You can copy and edit existing Label Legends in V9. Existing Legends are symbols stored in the Label Legends folder. If you duplicate a LL symbol, give it a new name and place it in the Label Legend folder. When you run the Label Legend Manager, it will appear as a new label and you can add and remove fields as you would normally do. You can also copy legends to a new document in the same manner.

Jim T Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 There see. If I would just get out of the Dark Ages and upgrade all would be solved. Thank you for that timely information on editing Label Legends. I will put that to good use. I will also upgrade to 10 as soon as my accountant (Me) gives me the green light. Thanks again.
