Marcelo Bernardo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hello folks! In Vectorworks Spotlight, after changing a symbol using the command: replace with symbol. This symbol does not have its data updated in the summary tools. It appears as an unused device with a count equal to zero. Even making the switch in the options: use original; use substitute... I'm doing something wrong, I'm a new user in the program Thanks to anyone who can help! Quote Link to comment
0 markdd Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have you refreshed the instrument summary tool? There is a button to do that at the bottom of the object info palette. Quote Link to comment

0 markdd Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Are you replacing the symbol using the change symbol dropdown in the edit dialogue box or are you replacing the instrument? You will need to replace the instrument for the instrument summary tool to change. (Spotlight menu/Replace Instruments) 1 Quote Link to comment

Even making the switch in the options: use original; use substitute...
