5.7. Copy key
The Copy key is used to copy something from one location to another (valid) location.
E.g. you want to copy group 1 to group 2
Copy Group 1 At 2 Please
If you want to make a copy of cue number 2 to a (new) cue 9 in the main cue list, you can use the following keys:
Copy Cue 2 At 9 Please this will give you a selection box on screen 1 where you need to choose
Copy .
If you need to copy cue number 2 from the main cue list to a different executor, then you need to specify the
executor. The same example but coping to executor number 4:
Copy Cue 2 At 9 Exec 4 Please , same selection box where you select Copy .
You can also use ranges.
Copy Cue 2 Thru 4 At Cue 9 Please will create cue 9, 10 and 11 (if you had cue 2, 3 and 4). Cue 9
will be the same as 2, 10 is like 3 and 11 is like 4.
If you copy from one source to a destination
range
, then you create several similar cues.
E.g. copying cue 2 to cue 15, 16 and 17 will create three copies of cue 2 located at cue 15, 16 and 17. This is the
key strokes:
Copy Cue 2 at 1 5 Thru 1 7 Please again you'll need to select copy in the selection box.
If you try to copy information to an already existing location you have two options: Overwrite or Merge.
Overwrite will delete the current value. Merge will add new values and overwrite existing values.
Advanced Functionality
If you press and hold the key and then press the Copy key, then you'll get the Clone command.
This is used to make a fixture do exactly what another fixture is doing. If fixture number 1 is used in some groups,
presets and cue list, then it can be a hassle if you need fixture number 5 to do the exact same tings. You would
have to manually check where fixture 1 is used and then re program fixture 5 to do the same. Clone can help you
with this.
When you clone something you are often presented with some options on screen 1.
'Cancel' is used to cancel the clone operation.
