6.1.7 Lateral Selections
Lateral selections can only be used for fixtures in the show that have dotted user numbers
(1.1, 1.2, etc). Much like sub selections, lateral selections are based on the current selection.
However, unlike sub-selections, lateral selections do not select fixtures within the current
selection. Instead, lateral selections compare the whole number portions of the currently
selected fixtures to other fixtures in the show to make a new selection. The table below
shows six lateral selection syntaxes that can be used:
Syntax Result
[.]
[enter]
Selects fixtures in the show that have a whole number portion that matches the
whole number portion of any fixtures in the current selection but will not select the
fixture if it has a part number portion. This is primarily used to allow users to
select the main or master portion of a compound fixture.
[.] [.]
[enter]
Selects fixtures in the show that have a whole number portion that matches any
whole number portion of any fixtures in the current selection.
[.] [#]
[enter]
Selects fixtures in the show with user numbers that match the whole numbers
portions of the current fixture selection and that contain the specified dotted part
number.
[.] [#]
[thru] [.]
[#]
[enter]
Selects fixtures in the show with user numbers that match the whole number
portions of the current fixture selection and that fall within the specified part
number range.
[.] [0]
[enter]
Selects fixtures in the show with user numbers that match the whole number
portions of the current fixture selection and that have a part number. If the fixture
doesn't have a part number it won't be selected.
[thru] [.]
[#]
Selects fixtures in the show with user numbers that match the whole number
portions of the current fixture selection and that fall within the specified open
ended part number range.
Tip: Lateral selections are not additive selections; they are new selections. This means
that regardless of whether or not an edit has been made to the current selection, making a
lateral selection will start a completely new selection unless [+] is used when making the
lateral selection in which case the lateral selection will be added to the current selection.
6.1.8 Deselecting Fixtures
To deselect all selected fixtures, press the Backsp ace key when the command line is
empty.
To deselect specific fixtures, use the – key:
- Fixture 1 : deselects Fixture 1.
Alternatively, you can deselect a fixture visually in the Programmer or editor window by
