Editing lighting devices
Once lighting devices have been inserted, many of the parameters can be changed from the Object Info palette or Lighting Device dialog box, and the color, numbering, alignment, and other options can be set.
When you need to edit many lighting devices at once, use context menu commands to select devices by certain criteria. You can select all the lighting devices with the same instrument type, position, rigging object location, or focus point.
