Swift Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I'm having a problem with a current plan where the legend text is not displaying as per the label legend manager. The legends I'm using are imported from other drawings and the font and style settings in the label legend manager are correct. But when the legend is assigned the light does not display the text correctly. When I shift the text manually, it then displays correctly (and prints correctly), but when I refresh intruments, the text returns to the incorrect look. Anyone have any ideas? This is the first time this has happened to me and it is really confusing. I've tried deleting the label legend and re-importing it, and I've tried removing the label legend from the lights and re-attaching it but it doesn't help. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 What font are you using? What OS are you using? What version of VW is being used? Quote Link to comment
Swift Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 The fonts are - Helvetica, 9 point in bold for the Channel, and Arial, 6 point in italics for the Colour. I use VW on my Mac running OS10.2.6, and VW Spotlight 10.1. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 That's strange. Can you please email the file to me so I can look at it? Thanks. tech@nemetschek.net?subject=ATTN:Katie Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Unless you placed an instance of each of your label legends onto a layer of your drawing the legends were purged also. The purge function dumps any unused items and if the legends are not actually in the drawing it thinks they are not being used. At least that is what has happened to me in the past. Once you complete the purge you can delete them from the drawing. I still have 9.5.3 so it might be different in 10, don't know. Quote Link to comment
Martin Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks JT, Well I tried that and it didn't change the fact that I cannot manually move any of the lighting fixture attributes that are part of the label legend. It's funny, this function worked just fine about two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted August 7, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 7, 2003 In version 10, purging the document should not delete the Label Legend Symbols. When you hover over the labels do you get the curssor cue? What is your sanp grid set to? Try turning off the sanp grid. Check the Show Data box in the OIP and Delete the values in the DoNot Edit Field. This will force the labels to use the settings in the Label Legend Manager, but you will have to redo any multi-circuit instruments. Quote Link to comment
Martin Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I've got the exact opposite problem. I have also imported my label legends. The text is immovable. I don't have the ability to drag the text around at all. I have done one thing that might be the cause. I have done a purge of everything in the document. Maybe I inadvertantly deleted something?
