Losing Symbols after LW4 Import


Recommended Posts

I am having issues with instrument symbols in my current drawing. I switched all instruments of a specific type to a symbol that I had selected from the resource browser. The symbol resided in a separate file. At first, I was unable to rotate the symbol without it converting to a rectangle. Later, after importing instrument data from LW4, all instruments using that symbol converted to rectangles. Has anyone else seen this?

The symbol must reside in the current document. The symbol should have automatically imported the first time you used it. LW4 probably changed the symbol name or the fields got mapped wrong. Check the name of the symbol in the lighting device.
