Editing Label Legends

To edit a legend:

1. In the Label Legend Manager dialog box, select the legend, and then click Edit Fields. The Edit Label Legend dialog box opens. See Creating Label Legends for a description of the legend parameters.

To identify which legend needs to be edited before opening the Label Legend Manager, right-click on the lighting device and select Locate Label Legend in Resource Manager from the context menu.

The legend name displays at the top of the dialog box, and cannot be changed from here.

To rename a label legend, locate it in the Resource Manager in the Label Legends folder of the current file (navigate there manually or use the Locate Label Legend in Resource Manager context menu command). When the label legend is highlighted, right-click and select Rename from the context menu. (Any existing instruments that use the old legend name will lose their labels.)

2. The currently selected label items have a check mark next to the label name. Select any additional label items to appear in the legend by clicking in the Use column. To deselect a label item, click the associated check mark in the Use column; the check mark is removed.

Similarly, a check mark in the Show in 3D column creates a 3D version of the label.

3. Lighting Instrument Layout Symbol displays the name of the symbol currently used in the label legend. To use a different symbol, click Choose to open the Choose an Instrument Symbol dialog box. Select a new reference symbol from the resources present in the drawing and click OK.

When you change the instrument’s reference symbol, the symbol’s appearance on the drawing will not change. However, the change will be reflected within the label legend; the name shown on the Edit Label Legend dialog box will update, as will the appearance of the symbol in the layout editor (see Formatting the Label Legend).

4. Click OK.
