Inserting multi-circuit instruments Inserting multi-circuit instruments Use the Lighting Instrument tool to insert multi-circuit instruments, as described in Inserting instruments. Multi-circuit instruments act as a group while retaining their individual parameters and labels.
As an example, a three-cell Cyc light consisting of different colors can be inserted as a single multi-circuit instrument that can be easily positioned. However, each light in the multi-circuit instrument retains its own information, which is displayed in its label legend. When generating paperwork, each cell of the instrument is listed individually. See Criando Definições de Símbolos to create a multi-circuit symbol out of instrument symbols (left, center, and right components).
The multi-circuit symbol must consist only of other symbols to be properly inserted as a multi-circuit instrument. Otherwise, the Lighting Instrument tool treats it as a single circuit instrument.
By default, the active Label Legend is applied to each part of the multi-circuit instrument. The multi-circuit instrument is numbered according to the hanging position settings.
As an alternative workflow, select multiple instruments, and then select the Convert to MultiCircuit command to create a multi-circuit instrument.
To undo a conversion to a multi-circuit instrument, select the multi-circuit instrument and then select the Convert to MultiCircuit command again.
