Lighting symbol list

Lists all symbols in the file with a Light Info (or Light Info M, for metric measurements) record attached. The columns display the data contained in the attached Light Info record. Sort the symbols in ascending or descending alphabetical order by clicking in the first column header.

New

Opens the Choose a Symbol dialog box, listing all the symbol definitions in the file without the Light Info (or Light Info M) record attached. Select a symbol to add the Light Info record to the symbol definition and add the symbol to the maintenance list, where its data can then be edited.

Edit

Opens the Edit Instrument Data dialog box, displaying the record data for the selected row (alternatively, double-click the row to edit)

Replace

Opens the Choose a Symbol dialog box, listing all the symbol definitions in the file that are not in the maintenance list. Select a symbol to replace the symbol from the currently selected row of the maintenance list. The existing data from the selected row remain unchanged; only the symbol is replaced.

Delete

Deletes the Light Info (or Light Info M) record from the symbol in the currently selected row of the maintenance list, and removes the row from the list. The symbol is not removed from the file, but the symbol no longer appears in reports about the lighting device or in the inventory list in the Lighting Inventory Setup dialog box.

Remove Unused

Removes the Light Info (or Light Info M) record from all symbols in the maintenance list which are currently not used in a lighting device. The items are removed from the maintenance list and the inventory list, but the symbols are not removed from the file.

Copy All Types to Model Names

For uniformity, copies the data from the Inst Type column to the Model Name column. This eliminates inconsistencies and missing model name data.

Update all lighting devices

When selected, the symbol definition edits that have been made affect all existing and future symbol instances in the file, potentially changing existing lighting devices in the drawing. Deselect the option to only affect future symbol placement.
