Phsion Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi All, I've recently upgraded to Vectorworks 2012 Spotlight w/ Renderworks, and I'm haveing a very annoying issue I hope someone can help me with. When using the marqee selection tool to drag and select multiple symbols, I have to make my selection box very large to grab the fixture I want. For example, to select the Source Four Leko symbol I made (color added to the stock symbol), the selection box needs to be about three times as high and five times as wide as the actual symbol before the selection box will actually select the symbol. When I edit the symbol, the bounding box seems normal, but once inserted into the drawing, I have the issue. Any fix or work around? Thanks for the help.

cad@sggsa Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi I also have a serious problem with the lights having the same issue. The bounding box on lights, not just lighting instruments is overly large, which means you have to select each light individually to not include the the surrounding objects. A work around, which a very big roundabout is to use the custom select option or manually selecting each lighting symbol by clicking on them with Ctrl tab held in. Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've seen that too (sigh), but just tried to not care. (Failed :-) I suspekt: This is some "2D Components in the Lightobject-Symbol have a Layerplane setting and get therefore somhow treated as 3D Ghosts" ged?ns. Quote Link to comment
mdaszenies Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Check if you have large text fields (or fields that are far away from your lighting instrument) in your label legend. Quote Link to comment
