Spotlight won't show channel numbers


Recommended Posts

I don't know how to put channel numbers or address numbers on my lights. I tried using Number Spotlight, but it just says "numbering complete" and then doesn't show the numbers at all. I've tried converting the symbol to lighting instrument, I've tried building a legend. Would someone be so kind as to walk me through it step by step, I know it's a lot. I'm a student and my undergrad professor only taught me to hand draft a plot. I'm having to learn Vectorworks on my own, and it's a little stressful. I'm working on my thesis project and can't get the channel and address numbers and my professor wants a vectorworks sheet instead of hand draft. I appreciate any help.

 

The steps I'm taking

 

1. Create lighting pipe using lighting pipe tool

2. Place lighting symbol

3. Spotlight> Object Conversion> Convert to lighting device

4. Spotlight> Label legend manager, assign legend to lighting device

5. Spotlight>Spotlight Numbering, check the boxes for unit number, channel, address, focus, and dmx address.

6. Set direction, click ok.

 

Nothing happens. I have tried everything. Can someone tell me how to show channel numbers? I can't find tutorials for it that make sense.
