Lighting instruments and other loads can be automatically associated with a rigging object, both at insertion and when an existing load is moved on the light plot. Throughout the design work, particularly in the later stages, instruments may need to be moved slightly, but they should not be accidentally associated with a different nearby rigging object. Auto positioning provides the necessary control over the automatic association of load objects with rigging objects. See Concept: Rigging objects for more information.

To assign classes and preferences for trusses and other rigging objects:

1.      Select the command.

2.      The Spotlight Preferences dialog box opens. Click the Loads and rigging pane.
