Creating position palettes


DSA

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Is there a quick way of cycling through fixtures for when creating position (or indeed any) palettes? ie. select first fixture, tilt/pan etc, press SOMETHING to deselect first fixture and select second, tilt/pan etc. and so on until all similar fixtures have been positioned. This can be achieved on an Avolites pearl by selecting all the fixtures you want to work with, and then pressing the right/left cursor arrow as appropriate. At the moment, it is four button presses (fixtures, deselect, select, position), and could be potentially more if you are working with focus or something deep in the beamshape parameter group.

 

Thanks,

David

Hi David

 

You shouldn't need to press POSITION in the four commands you state above - when you press FIXTURES the wheels stay focussed on whatever parameter they were modifying last. I agree it's not perfect, but again the problem is what button would you use for 'next' and 'last' functionality - the arrow keys need to maintain focus onto the monitor, otherwise users without a mouse will be stuck unable to use a lot of buttons.
