The Savvy Position Label is a highly configurable plug-in object for labeling lighting positions. The Label, optionally, links to a Light Position Object, keeping the label in sync with the position name and displaying data in the Label’s note.
Configuration
Choose from numerous configuration options, allowing the Label to confirm to your personal drafting standard. The Savvy Position Label supports text styles and classes for granular control of its presentation.

Placement
The label is a separate object linked to the Lighting Position Object, so you can nudge or duplicate independently from the position. You can, optionally, have the label move with the position.

Label Text
Because you don’t always display the same position name on the plot that you use in the paperwork, the Savvy Position Label lets you display the first word, last word, just number, or custom text, with a prefix or suffix. For example:
Pipe A displays as A
#2 Electric becomes 2E
while still automatically linking to the position name.
Pipe A displays as A
#2 Electric becomes 2E
while still automatically linking to the position name.

Note
An optional note lets you add tokens to automatically display US DS and SL SR coordinates, location, trim height, pipe length, position weight, truss dimensions, and DMX footprint, which always stay up to date.
