6. Selecting and Modifying Fixture Parameters 155
6.1.9 Re-selecting Fixtures
You can recall the last sub selection made before deselecting fixtures by pressing Previou s
on the Select Toolbar.
6.2 Selection Order
The order in which you select fixtures has significance when fanning and effects are applied
to them. For example, applying a fan or effect after selecting fixtures 1-5 can appear different
than if you selected fixtures 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5. More details can be found in the respective
sections. Fanning and Effects.
The selection order is relevant during programming, and is recorded as part of groups, but it is
not recorded in palettes, cues or scenes.
Tip: Because the console records the selection order as part of groups, you can select the
group and use the Next and Back keys to sub-select each fixture in a particular order. By
controlling the selection order when you record the group, you can then work through a
series of fixtures in the order they are physically positioned in the rig, instead of in
numerical order.
6.2.1 Reverse, Shuffle and Reorder
You can change the selection order of fixtures in predefined ways. The Reverse, Shuffle,
and Reorde r buttons are on the Select Toolbar and Fanning Toolbar:
Main Toolbar → Select : open the Select Toolbar.
Reverse: reverses the selection sequence, so that the last is first and the first is last. For
example, the fixture selection 1-5 becomes 5-1.
Shuffle: randomizes the selection order of the current selection. For example, the fixture
selection 1-5 becomes 3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4.
Reorder: sorts the selection order to match the User Number order. For example, the fixture
selection 3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 becomes 1-5.
Tip: The Re verse , Shuffle, and Re ord er buttons can also be found on the Fanning
Toolbar, which you can open by pressing and holding the Fan key. See Fanning.
