AliaS Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I've been having an issue with label legends and accessories (FYI I change all of my accessories to static accessories), in that it applies my default legend to accessories. The only way I found to fix this was to create a "No Legend" legend and manually apply it to all accessories/change the default when inserting them. Is there a way to toggle whether legends appear on accessories, or make a separate legend apply automatically to accessories without needing to do this manually? I don't need a channel bubble for my iris... Another somewhat related issue, when using auto numbering, the accessories are screwing up my counts. Example: Instrument 1 = Unit#1 Instrument 2 = Unit #2 Iris on instrument 2 = Unit #2 Instrument 3 = Unit #4 Thanks, Alia Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted April 20, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 20, 2012 Which version of Vectorworks are you using? 2012 should default to no label legend for accessories when placed with the accessory insertion tool. You don't have to have a label legend assigned to the accessories. Just select them all and delete the value in the legend field. Quote Link to comment
AliaS Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sorry, forgot to mention, I am using 2012; educational version, if that matters. Thanks, I can just take the legend off, but it doesn't do it by default so it doesn't save me a lot of time. Creating the 'no legend' meant I could use that as the default when inserting accessories. The autonumbering thing is actually the more annoying/time consuming of the two issues. I do create/edit my accessories a lot, for instance making them all static accessories or using custom symbols. Could this have something to do with it? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted April 20, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 20, 2012 The accessory insertion tool will default to not using a legend if the accessory is a static accessory, regular accessories have the default label legend attached . Once it is place the legend is under the control of the user. Quote Link to comment
AliaS Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Okay, but it's not doing that. I am using the accessory insertion tool, and they ARE static accessories, and the label legend is still appearing until I take it off. Do you have any idea about the autonumbering? I think it would be useful to allow the user to change these defaults, ie set a default for lights, one for accessories. Even if I wanted a legend for, let's say, an I-Cue, that had the address and the channel if necessary, I can't imagine when I'd want the legend to be the same. Quote Link to comment
