Symbols turn into "Bosxes" after entering data


Recommended Posts

What gives?

I've worked a bunch of VW11 SL4 voodoo to get the data back and forth, and I'm finally feeling like I've got a grip on it, but now when I enter data in the obj info pallette, some of my symbols turn into rectangles. wierd.

It's not all the symbols, just some of them.

Why?

Whenever the lighting instrument turns into a rectangle, it can not find the refrenced symbol. Check to see if the Symbol Name field is blank or if the symbol has been deleted form the document. If fields were maped incorrectly during an inport/export process the Symbol name field could contain an invalid symbol name. You can use find and modify or replace with active symbol to fix the problem.
