Quick Reference

The display of lights can be turned on and off in the drawing.

The display of lights can be controlled several ways. In the Options dialog box, on the Drafting tab, the Lights Glyph settings control the display of light glyphs in the drawing.

A light glyph is a graphic representation of a light. Point lights and spotlights can be placed in a drawing with a light glyph. Distant lights, such as sunlight, are not represented with a light glyph.

Displaying light glyphs in the plotted drawing is optional; light glyph display is controlled with the plot glyph property setting. With the plot glyph property, you specify light glyph to display one light at a time. The plot glyph setting for a viewport affects all the lights globally.
