richard Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello I seem to be having a problem in spotlight in that when I add units to the plan they are taking various values (colour, purpose etc) from the last lamp I drew on a previous plan (I think from when I used 'create similar object') - is there any way to reset the defaults, or stop it from doing this as it is very annoying! I am using 2011 Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamon Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Richard It would appear there is a label legend still active in the spotlight setup. If you are just using an old plan and have removed the symbols in order to re-create a new design, the legend will still remain active. This is what I am inferring from your post. To turn off the offending label legend, you can either a) make a "standard" one with all in black or b)or just make a dummy one with 1 used setting and set it to active. Same thing really!There might be a turn off command but I have never seen it. I am using 2012. Hope that helps eamon Edit: Forgot to add, you could just select the label legend in question & dump all the symbols out of view! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Eamon I think that's part of the problem (in that it is assigning a label legend to the fixtures), however my bigger problem is that it is assigning all of the attributes to the fixture (purpose, colour, channel etc), I realised I can fix this by getting a clean fixture and selecting 'make similar object', which then seems to clear the cache, but it seems very messy! Thanks! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
