Symbol picker in Instrument Insertion and Symbol insertion tools...


Recommended Posts

So noticing the new symbol picker in VW2016 in the Instrument and Symbol tools, but was wondering what is the best way to get my custom symbol libraries into the pickers?

there will be libraries for multiple departments, some LX, many video and audio. I really like the layout of the prepackaged LX symbols. Would like to be able to get my symbols in that layout in both instrument insert, and symbol insert. Is this even possible?

Thanks!

Take a look at the folder structure in ...\Libraries\Objects - Entertainment Lighting\

At the top level you will see folder names ending with "$". The "$" indicates that the folder contains files that should be displayed as separate groups.

Inside the folder are several files, each file will display as a subgroup in the control.

You can place your resources in \Libraries\Objects - Entertainment Lighting\ or in your default folder.
