How to Get Attribute Values

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to get the current attribute values to a UserVar for example.

Trying to figure out some kind of position wizard for my tour. Where I only set each side of the stage and the macro would finish all my basic positions like Cross Up, Cross Down, Fan Up etc.

But I can't really get the current pan attribute values to a User Var. (Yes I could write the dmx values to a UserVar and use that instead but I want to make this as fast and as comfortable as possible possible.)

Well I'm not entirely sure how would this get me the Attribute values :\ . It would might help on my position wizard but I'd like to try some other tricks where I need to copy the current attribute values :\

So I know that we are able to set these with like "Attribute "Dimmer" At 50". It makes sense that I should be able to read it out somehow and maybe save it to a UserVar and or use it in a lua script.

Apparently I was wrong. Since current attribute values can be a wide range between every selected fixture for example a simple Fan position, so it actually makes sense that you can't just save it as a single variable, because on many occasions it could be a way more complex value.

Maybe in the future

(As for my position wizard I decided to just write the value into a uservar by hand, it works perfectly just a needs little more effort)

And actually found a work around this problem on an other thread Can I readout Preset Values with lua?. With A_art's brilliant LUA plugin I was able to extract the attribute data from a preset.
