Hi!
I have found out that dimmer presets are very helpful when using recipes. My entire show is programmed with hard-values in the dimmer attribute.
Is there a way to search the showfile for wherever there has been used a dimmer value, create a dimmer preset that corresponds with the value, and then overwrite the hard value to the new preset?
No need to be a 1-step process, so any help, tips and tricks is gladly received.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Do you have any suggestions for how I can achieve this?
Hi!
I need help with labeling macros with variables.
The macro does this:
1: SetGlobalVar "FadeX" ("What fade time?")
2: Label Macro 306 "FadeX Time = "$FadeX" "
If I set variable "FadeX" to be 1, the macro is labeled "FadeX Time = 1", but if I use punctuation, i.e "1.4", the macro is still labeled as "1".
Same thing with "0.4", will give me a label of "FadeX Time = 0"
Any tips?
Thanks!
Hi!
So I was looking for how to stop the speed in a phaser.
I tried Hoss' way, but my resault is not quite what I am looking for.
Phaser running in Cue 2.
In cue 3 I run Macro 501 in the CMD.
Macro 501:
ClearAll
Selfix Group 19
Capture EncoderPage 2
Stomp EncoderPage 2
Store /Overwrite
ClearAll
This only works once, but I need it to work every time I run the macro.
Is there another workaround?
Yesterday was the first time I've tried it. It seems to happen every try.
v1.6.3.7 yes. Sending my showfile. Thanks, Ryan.
I just tried to export an MVR-file from onPC, and it just stops at "Reading Objects: 100%" and I can't do anything.
Had to force quit onPC.
See attached image.
When changing the dimmer value of any given group or fixture whilst a cue is active, the fixtures (more often than not) starts a dimmer sine phaser.
Does this have something to do with tracking from previous cues, or is this a bug?
v1.6.3.7
Hi.
I've found a bug in recipes. When changing two or more groups in a recipe line, the onPC software will crash. It has happened several times now.
Just changing one group at a time works fine.

Hi.

This is a 5$ Plugin which does what you need.
It is probably possible to do without the plugin, but I haven't tried it myself.
As you say restart is a solution, or you can use in the command line this command "ReloadUI" this solve me always this kind of problem
That is a nice command, thanks!
Hi.
After exporting an MVR-file from Vectorworks to MA3, I can't add preset pools to my views. My fixtures all have fixture ID's and patch looks good, and it works in 3d.
Any idea what I've done wrong here? See attached image.
v 1.6.1.3
EDIT: After a restart it now works.
Do you have a way to get this in the GUI easily? As the old way of tapping the encoder bar gives you EncoderPage which isn't necessarily the whole feature...
I would like to know this as well.
I see.
Awesome plugin, Andreas, thank you. After one quick test, I can already tell it'll be very useful moving forward with MA3.
Hi.
I want to store groups using MAtricks, but it is not "taking my selection".
1. Selecting a group containing 30 fixtures (FixID #201->#230)
2. Applying MAtricks XGroup of 3. This gives me 3 groups of 10 fixtures.
3. I store them as Group 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3.
4. If I select Group 1/3 and next through it, it should be fixture #201, #204, #207 etc, but instead it's #201, #202, #203, #204 etc.
The Selection Grid in the group of 30 shows all the fixtures across the X-axis, but Group 1/3 shows #201, Group 2/3 shows #202, and Group 3/3 shows #203.
The 1-2-3/3 groups shows the correct selection in the Fixture window.
In MA2, I would do this by using interleave 1 of 3 and then store my groups.
Version 1.6.1.3.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
