Martin Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Bruce, Can you answer this? When you convert to a multicicuit, do the three or four individual elements turn into one lighting device or do they remain separate lighting device? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted July 11, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yes and No. They are still individual instruments, with a dimmer, circuit, channel, color, etc, but they move as one unit and are given one unit number and a sub (cell) number for each part.

Martin Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 This is not working for me either. I am using 10.1.2 PC. I have resorted to grouping my far cycs and moving them that way. I have also had to individually number them. Unless... the unit actually becomes a different symbol and is simply not swapping after the command has been initiated Quote Link to comment
Swift Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I don't know if this helps, but the multicircuit problems I had after upgrading to V10 Spotlight, were solved by double-clicking on the 'Key to Instrumentation' to edit it, and clicking in blank space to de-select everything. For some reason, the KEY TO INSTRUMENTATION command places a key as a group and selects everything in that group. This means that when trying to convert to multicircuit, the command tries to convert the instruments you selected, plus everything in the key to multicircuit - and an error results. Since finding this out, I've had no problems. Quote Link to comment
bruce johansen Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 sorry it took so long to come back. no martin it stays individual instruments, not as a single as it should be. Quote Link to comment
Martin Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Kevin, Are we doing something wrong? I wonder if I am missing a step on making multi-circuit units move as one and/or stick together once converted. Thaks, martin Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted July 23, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 23, 2003 Martin, Send your file with an explanation to tech@nemetschek.net. If there is a problem with the file they will pass it on to me and I will take a look at it. Otherwise they may be able to explain the process a little more clearly. Quote Link to comment
