Creating Hanging Cards

Lighting position hanging cards can be created in Spotlight.

To create hanging cards:

1.	Set the design layer visibility by selecting Window > Navigation and clicking the Design Layers tab. Set only the design layers with the desired lighting positions and instruments to visible.

2.	Similarly, set class visibility by clicking the Classes tab and setting only the desired classes to visible.

3.	Select View > Create Viewport.

The Create Viewport dialog box opens. For more information on viewports, see Presenting Drawings with Sheet Layer Viewports.

4.	From the Create on Layer field, selet the sheet layer for the viewport (or create a new sheet layer).

5.	Select Project 2D Objects, with Top/Plan view and Wireframe rendering. Click OK.

6.	The viewport is created and the sheet layer displays.

7.	Select Modify > Edit Viewport.

The Edit Viewport dialog box opens. Select Crop and click OK.

Alternatively, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Macintosh) the viewport and select Edit Crop from the context menu to crop the viewport.

8.	In crop viewport mode, draw a 2D shape to crop the desired lighting position.

To hide the cropping shape, set its line thickness to zero in the Attributes palette. Click Exit Viewport Crop at the top right of the drawing window to crop the viewport.

9.	The cropped viewport displays on the sheet layer.

10.	Several viewports can be created on the same sheet layer to display all the desired hanging cards. Changes to the design layer(s) are automatically reflected in the viewport.
