Torches not working

I have previously made dungeons using DD3 in which I have used glow effects successfully with torch symbols. But this time I seem to have a problem.

Having already placed other wall features, I have attempted repeatedly to place my torches on a sheet called (appropriately enough) TORCHES. But the torches I place keep ending up on the WALL FEATURES sheet (I know this because when I hide that sheet the torches disappear) even though I make TORCHES my selected sheet after choosing the torch icon, prior to placement.

I can't figure out why I can't get those torches to glow, without also making my other wall features glow. It worked before!

    Symbols select their own sheet regardless of the sheet you manually select.

    There are three ways to handle this
    - Create a sheet called WALL FEATURES TORCHES for your torches. The torches will happily let themselves be placed on any sheet that starts with the words WALL FEATURES
    - Temporarily turn off the "Symbols Choose their own Sheet" option from the symbol options (Button right above the symbol catalog.
    - Just move the torches to the correct sheet after placing them.
  • Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.

    How can I move symbols to a new sheet after placing them?

    Click the Change Properties image button, then select the entities, finally Right Click -> Do it.

    In the dialog that pops up, you can change the sheet for the entities.
