Numbering Instruments Manually

Instruments do not have to be numbered according to the lighting position’s auto-numbering feature. They can be manually numbered.

Numbering Individual Instruments

To number selected instruments manually:

1.	Select the lighting position object.

2.	Disable auto-numbering by deselecting Auto Number in Object Info palette.

3.	Select the instrument(s) to be numbered.

4.	Select Modify > Number Instruments.

The Number Instruments dialog box opens.

 

Parameter	Description
Direction	The numbering direction is relative to the page; click the desired numbering direction
Numbering	Specifies the Starting Number and Increment value; if desired, a Prefix and/or Suffix can be attached to the number
Multi-circuit Numbering	Select the numbering format for multi-circuit instrument numbering; these items are identical to the selections made when specifying auto-numbering for multi-circuit instruments (see Instrument Auto-numbering)

As an example, a Starting Number of 2, Increment of 2, and Suffix of A numbers the instruments as follows: 2A, 4A, 6A, and so on.
