Comparison of ACAD 06 & 07 Lights On/Off/Adjust Status
Because ACAD 06 user defined named SCENES included user assigned & defined LIGHTS, you could quickly determine which defined LIGHTS would be on for a rendering by double clicking a defined SCENE name in the SCENE Dialog Box, indicating which defined LIGHTS will be on for a particular rendered SCENE. Because ACAD 07 removed the SCENE command, the same functionality I found so far is to right-click PROPERTIES for each defined LIGHT individually in the LIGHTLIST to indicate a defined LIGHT On/Off status. Obviously the degree of tediousness & time consumption doing this task is directly proportional to the number of defined LIGHTS. Although ACAD 07 Documentation states the 1st column of icons indicates Type of Light & On/Off Status, my icon doesn't change if I change On/Off Status with Properties.
Also I miss the ACAD 06 Altitude/Azimuth Graphics for easily adjusting defined Distant Lights. ACAD 07 PROPERTIES of a defined Distant Light only shows obscure To/From X,Y,Z Vectors, making it virtually impossible to adjust Distant Light altitude & azimuth angles to precise degrees.
Any solutions to mimic this more convenient ACAD 06 functionality VMA !
