This section describes the options available in the Light Fixtures group in the Design Master Electrical Options dialog box.
Insert callout as part of each light fixture: Whether a light fixture callout note is automatically inserted as part of each light fixture on the drawing.
LF callout block (long lamp label): The block used when you insert a light fixture callout. It is used when the lamp label is wider than the value specified in LF callout short label width.
LF callout block (short lamp label): The block used when you insert a light fixture callout. It is used when the lamp label is smaller than the value specified in the LF callout short label width.
LF callout short label width: This width is used to determine which LF callout is inserted for a light fixture.
Insert callout after each light fixture: Whether you will be prompted to a light fixture callout after inserting a light fixture on the drawing. The light fixture callout that is inserted is the same as what is inserted using the Insert Light Fixture Callout command.
Lighting group block (1-9): The callout block used when you associate a light fixture with a lighting group. It is used when the group number is less than 10.
Lighting group block (10+): The callout block used when you associate a light fixture with a lighting group. It is used when the group number is 10 or more.
Exempt lighting group block: The block used when a light fixture is marked as exempt. Leave this value blank to not insert a block next to exempt fixtures. See the Exempt Light Fixtures section for more information.
Display light fixture overlay: This specifies when a light fixture overlay will be displayed on non-plotting layers.
| • | Never: Light fixture overlays will never be inserted. |
| • | During insertion: The overlay will be displayed only when the light fixture is inserted. Once the light fixture is inserted, the overlay is no longer displayed. To view the overlay again, you must insert a new fixture. |
| • | Always: The light fixture overlay will always be displayed. |
The light fixture overlay is only generated for fixtures that have sufficient photometric information defined. The General Light checkbox or Egress Light checkbox must be checked. The Elevation must be set higher than 0. An IES file must be associated with the fixture callout.
