marcuswimmer Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi all, can someone help out how i can change the Name of the fixture/symbol in the lighting legend? I tryed the symbol name and all i had found in editing the light. All the names. But it always shows the original name of the symbol/light. Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Edit the Model Name of the Light Info Record attached to the symbol definition. You can do this easily with the Lighting Symbol Maintenance menu command. Quote Link to comment
scottmoore Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 To that point, is there a quick primer that explains the usage and best practices of the various naming fields in the Light Info Record? 3D Symbol Name Model Name Instrument Type Fixture ID I don't use LW and generally don't get too involved with worksheets anymore, so having a clear guide as to what the fields are for and where that data will show up would be helpful when creating new symbols.

JBenghiat Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @scott moore 3D Symbol Name - This is a vestigial field from on old idea. You can ignore this or use it to store anything you wish. Model Name - The Instrument Summary displays this field. This is intended to be more of a specification — if I was using a worksheet as the starting place for a shop order, I would use this field's data. e.g. ETC Source Four 10° w/ double clutch Instrument Type - What would appear in hookups and schedules. Usually more succinct, e.g. S4 10. This field is usually what syncs to the type field in Lightwright. Fixture ID - This is the type identifier that gets passed to Vision, as well as the lookup value for the fixture mode pulldown in the OIP. @marcuswimmer Go to Spotlight>Reports>Lighting Symbol Maintenance... 3 Quote Link to comment
