Instrument / Accesory Insertion Issue


Recommended Posts

Currently in VW 2008 or 2009 when I insert the active instrument or accessory into my plot it switches from the active symbol to a S4 26 Deg with draw beam on, focused to focus point D2.

Tried deleting my record formats, no success.

As a workaround I can replace it with the active symbol from the object info palette, but that gets old extremely fast.

At some point the the life of the drawing, somebody used the Create Similar Object tool on an S4 26 deg with draw beam on focused at D2.

It's a Spotlight bug. DON'T use Create Similar Object on lighting instruments.

There is a fix. Contact Kevin Linzey (he's the moderator of the Spotlight forum - klinzey) for a script that will fix it.

hmmmm

Not sure I should have named Kevin specifically as the "guy in charge of the Spotlight bug." I'm sure anyone at tech support could help you. Kevin is the one who helped me when I ran into the same problem.

As I understand it, there is a bug in Spotlight instruments that doesn't allow the default settings to be changed back after that command is run.

It's an easy fix. Run one vectorscript and all is well.
