bryanlux 0 Posted January 9, 2009 How do you make the Instrument Insertion tool the default symbol insertion tool rather than the 2D insertion tool? That would save a lot of headache right now. Quote Share this post Link to post
michaelk 511 Posted January 9, 2009 I don't think you can. It would be a great wish list item: Double Clicking a Lighting Instrument symbol choose the Instrument Insertion tool by default. Quote Share this post Link to post
Jim_Allen 0 Posted January 9, 2009 I agree I have never figured out why this hasn't been the default. I guess people want to be able to place 2d/3d icons that are not instruments, but the reason escapes me. I am sure we will why. Quote Share this post Link to post
johndpalmer_ld 0 Posted January 9, 2009 I will place 2d symbols into the Symbol Key and Legend. I don't like the way VW generates the Key, so I make my own. I place as a 2d symbol so it doesn't get confused with my export to Lightwright. The issue that I am finding with 2009 is that when I go to insert an instrument for the first time when I start, the tool defaults into "pick-up and make active" mode. Once, I switch to insert, I am fine for the rest of my session. Take care, John Quote Share this post Link to post
