Multi circuit problem

[Nikgwolf]

Hello VW community,

I'm assisting a designer with drafting a light plot and are experiencing an unusual issue with unit numbers. As we go back to add unit numbers with the "Number instruments" tool, all the units are labeled in a multi-circuit fashion even though they were inserted separately as individual, single-circuit fixtures. We are looking for solutions and we've found it to be a problem within the particular file and with the particular symbols as a result of comparing the issue with a separate show file.

We don't know where to find the data that defines a fixture as multi-circuit and/or if there's a way to turn it off.

Any info is appreciated!

Thanks,

Nik

There is no way to convert a multi-circuit to a single circuit instrument. Make a marque selection if the lighting device and see how many are selected. You will probably see 2 items selected.

The problem is most likely with the symbol. There are probably 2 or more symbols within the symbol and the instrument insertion tool considers this a multi-circuit instrument. If this is the case the simple solution is to add something else to the symbol, a line or a piece to text.

Multi-circuit symbols consist of ONLY other symbols so if you add anything else to the symbol it will be seen as a single circuit.

Thanks klinzey for the response, I'll take that into consideration. Our solution was to Create a new file and copy and paste all non-lighting layers while "rehanging" a new plot with symbols from a working file.
