11.3.2 Luminaire Schedule

To place a Luminaire Schedule on a Page The electronic information representing what will be printed to make what is normally called a drawing., click the Luminaire Schedule button on the Insert tab A user interface object found in the Ribbonbar or Sidebar comprised of graphic and text buttons grouped based on function. of the Print Editor Ribbonbar.

Luminaire Schedule is placed by left-clicking the mouse in the desired location as described in Placing Objects.

See Working with Text-Based Objects for information on editing text content.

See Working With Tabular Objects for information on formatting tables as well as choosing columns to display.

When a multi-head Luminaire Type is present, the Luminaire Schedule in Print Editor behaves like that in the Design Environment.

A plus symbol The graphic symbol associated with a Luminaire Type. Used to specify the location, orientation, and type of lighting equipment in drawings. is shown at the left edge of the row when it is the Active Object, and the multi-head Luminaire Type can be expanded to show information for individual heads by clicking the plus symbol The graphic symbol associated with a Luminaire Type. Used to specify the location, orientation, and type of lighting equipment in drawings..

This feature is useful in very complex projects, and is of little value when the heads are the same base Luminaire (IES file).

To collapse the Luminaire Type, click the minus symbol The graphic symbol associated with a Luminaire Type. Used to specify the location, orientation, and type of lighting equipment in drawings..

The available columns for a Luminaire Schedule are:

Symbol The graphic symbol associated with a Luminaire Type. Used to specify the location, orientation, and type of lighting equipment in drawings. - The Symbol The graphic symbol associated with a Luminaire Type. Used to specify the location, orientation, and type of lighting equipment in drawings. defined in the Luminaire Schedule Editor

Label An alphanumeric designation used to establish a unique correspondence between Luminaire Symbols and their associated Luminaire Type entries in the Luminaire Schedule - The text label An alphanumeric designation used to establish a unique correspondence between Luminaire Symbols and their associated Luminaire Type entries in the Luminaire Schedule defined in the Luminaire Schedule Editor
