shadowfortress Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hello- Using vw 2009 I am wanting to show the letter of the universe for instruments using the label legend manager, ie not manually typing it in for all of the lighting. The only thing I have been able to do is under the universe tab in the manager, I type A: in the prefix, but then If I leave the numbers blank, it ends up A:0. Is there a way to be able to show the universe letter attached when numbering lights with no number after it, and have it be color-coded? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Where are you seeing the zero? (worksheet, export to LW, in the label legend?) Quote Link to comment
shadowfortress Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 If I fill in the universe (say, A:)prefix in the number instruments window and then I actually number the instruments, the universe field will always show a number after the prefix. If I clear the start# field, it will always show A:0 for the universe after I have numbered the instruments. My goal is to have the universe letter in its own color and to be able to edit it in the label legends manager. I have seen it done, and I believe there is a way to do it without inputting it manually. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Sorry. I didn't catch that your were using the Number Instruments command. I don't think it will work the way you want. I've always just used the Universe field. Have you tried using layer colors to color code the universes? Quote Link to comment
shadowfortress Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am using the universe field, but there are still prefix, start#, increment, etc, and if I leave them blank, they will read A:0 I would rather not use colors for the universes. I would like to simply show or hide the universe letter next to the light in a color that I designate (different from channel, instrument #, etc) thanks Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't think you can use that command. Just enter a letter in the universe field using the OIP or the Edit dialogue box from the OIP. Is this what you are trying to do? Quote Link to comment
