Set 3D Orientation vs. =Count()

[michaelk]

I suspect this may be a bug, but before submitting it and looking foolish, I thought I'd take the opportunity to look foolish here as well.

In VW2010 Spotlight selecting "Set 3D Orientation" in the OIP (doesn't matter if any values are entered) of a fixture makes it invisible to

=COUNT((INOBJECT & INSYMBOL & ('Light Info Record'.'Inst Type'='insert inst. type here')))

[also =COUNT((INOBJECT & ('Light Info Record'.'Inst Type'='Source 4 19deg'))) - INSYMBOL doesn't seem to matter]

Deselecting "Set 3D Orientation" makes the instrument reappear in the count after recalculating the worksheet.

Is there something really obvious I'm missing here?

Example attached.

This is correct behavior.

If you want information about the lighting device you should report on the Lighting Device.

=COUNT((('Lighting Device'.'Symbol Name'='Source 4 19deg')))

The Light Info record does not reflect any user entered data and any modification of the record data will be overwritten.

Thanks, Kevin.

I was trying to get fancy and have the report distinguish among different lamp wattages using as few criteria as possible and w/o using different symbols. All went well until I flipped one unit upside down.
