Edit Light Position Obj

[chstech]

2008

a couple of questions;

1. Is there any way to quickly Show or Hide the LPO Name? Maybe thru classes, thou there doesn't seem to be a class for that... is that because it is a PIO?

2. Is there any way to change the fill behind the Text Field for the LPO Name? Currently there is none and i need a fill.

3. Is there any way to change the LPO Name Text Field alignment? (Left, Center, Right)

4. Is there any way to change the position of the LPO Name via X or Y values?

Thanks in advance.

I think you hit on a lot of the functional weaknesses of LPOs. They definitely don't behave like other objects. I don't think there is access to any of the shortcuts you are talking about. It's a completely 'manual' object as far as I can see, one where you have to drag around the label and play around with object info if you need to make changes.

VW - if you're listening, it would also be very helpful to have a note field associated with the LPO.

Okay... now my problem is that i have to move all LPO Names over 12" from the position... and I cannot get them to move all at once!!

HELP

One other question.... i have noticed that if i change the elevation of the LPO, yes the light's Z Height changes, but in a Front or Right View the light is not attached or near the lighting position at all!!

What is Happening???

You need to make sure that you are making changes in Plan View (the default view). If you make changes in other views they only sync up within the view that you are looking in. Also make sure you extrude the lighting position and give it a height before adding instruments to it. Then make sure that the instrument is snapping to the position when you place it there. I've found that this clears up any "floating" fixtures.
