The new "spotlight" function in LxBeams Pro is very good. Is is possible to be able to show the beam of the instrument in this spotlit format?

How do you find a group of lights via their channel numbers?

That's a good suggestion about adding the beams to the "spotlight" feature. LXBeams 1.0.3 now isolates any beams associated with selected lights that are highlighted by "spotlight".

In order to highlight the symbols for a series of channels, open a channel list report. Use the shift key to select multiple rows. This will select the associated lights in the plot window.

When you switch back to the plot window, you can press the "s" key to spotlight the selected lights (and with 1.0.3 their beams...).

You can use this technique to easily select and edit lights in a range of channels. One common use might be to select lights this way and then assign a common group or use with the Inspector's info tab.

The selection method you suggest does not seem to work on my copy of 1.0.3. Channel list and cmd gets non continuous channels selected on the report but on the drawing everything between is also selected. Channel list and shift does the same thing.

LXFree 1.5.3 and LXBeams 1.0.4 have support for non-contiguous selection in light list reports
