mhersland Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi all I keep running into a situation, not being able to change the symbol name of custom lighting fixtures in the Instrument summary. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have made a demo file with a custom fixture, drawn completely by me. It works fine, and the name follows the one in my resource manager. However, I tried to copy a S4 36dg. The copy seems to interact with the original, both in the count, and the name. Even after changing names in resource manager, and the symbol name in the OBJ. I guess I am missing a point here. Best from Mathias Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted March 7, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 7, 2022 The count is not directly based on the symbol name, it's based on the Instrument Type. Quote Link to comment
Projx_CA Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Lighting Symbol Maintenance.... Double click on the fixture you want to rename Edit Model Name and Type Go back to your Symbol Key and rebuild the list with the new Fixture Model Name. Have a look at my Mac Quantum Wash in the images below. Cheers. Edited March 8, 2022 by Projx_CA 2 Quote Link to comment
