Editing multiple objects in layoutview

BECOME PART OF THE COMMUNITY - Sign up here

    Hi there,

    is it possible to edit the settings of multiple objects in layoutview at once? Setting appearance, name, value and other settings for each object is very annoying! any workaround?

    another question: if you have a GDTF type, it is represented by a picture in the layoutview, so far so good. But how to get rid of the picture and replace it with a simple filled square, or even better with a setting like SPOT (e.g,GOBO with color) as in GMA2?

    Hi

    1. Use command line :

    Set Layout 3.1 thru 4 "Action" ">>>"

    will set action >>> for elements 1 thru 4 in layout 3.


    You even can use names and * instead of number :

    Set layout 3."spots*" "Appearance" "Spots"

    will assign appearance "spot" at all your fixtures named Spots...


    List Layout 3.* to see all elements and property's name.

    I dunno, I find being able to quickly open a spreadsheet and change a bunch of stuff to me much quicker and nicer than poking around the graphic layout trying to make sure I select the right stuff...

    yes, knowing the "edit Layout x" comand is very good to know.... on MA2 you could select more than one layout object, hit edit and make a change in the settings for all selected. that functionality is missing, but the speradsheet is a good replacement.... if you know it! ;)

    Usually I select the objects, open the settings sheet and filter selected>yes

    I still didn’t find a way to record the view of the layout settings sheet. Need to insert filters and change column order everytime I open it. Is it possible?
