Original LXSeries Forum

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple channels on a single light. For example, I use 3 cell cyc lights and was able to tell the symbol that there is 3 sections per instrument, however when I get into lxfree, I can only put 1 channel number instead of 3.
Any ideas?

The way that LXFree treats multi-cell units is to have a symbol for each circuit. If you'd like, you can group symbols so that they move as a unit. Using a striplight kind of key entry is not necessary for regular multi-cell cyc lights that have a single lamp per color. The striplight information is used by LXBeams to render multiple beams from a single symbol.

Depending on the numbering style you like, you probably need to use the auto-fill from the Inspector's tools tab to assign unit numbers 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. Selecting the position and using the Inspector's Position Options tab, you can turn off the automatic numbering.
