Selective Partial Show Opening
If you select the {Advanced} button in the partial show opening screen, you will have the
opportunity to load partial components from the show file and be able to specify the desired location
of those partial components in the new show file.
For example, you could specify only cues 5-10 and load them as cues 20-25 in the new show. You
could also specify only specific palettes, effects, and so on. To see the complete list of show
components, press the {Advanced} key in the partial show loading screen.
As you specify components, they are added to a table in the CIA. In the table, fields with a dark
background may be edited, fields with a light gray background do not apply to that component. For
each component in the list, you can specify the desired range by clicking in the proper area in the
table and entering numbers from the keypad. The columns in the table are:
•
List - The list you are taking data from (such as a cue list).
•
List Target - The list you are adding the data to.
•
Start - The first in a range of components (such as a range of cues).
•
End - The last in a range of components.
•
Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this
will be the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will
follow in order).
Partial Patch Opening
You have the option to selectively open partial patch information or fixtures into a show file by
selecting the {Advanced} button in the partial show opening screen.
You can specify the desired range by selecting the proper area in the table and entering numbers
from the keypad. The columns in the table that relate to patch are:
•
Start - The first in a range of components.
•
End - The last in a range of components.
•
Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this
will be the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will
follow in order).
N o t e :
It is important to remember that on a partial patch open, if any record targets are
not opened, any existing data of that type will be cleared from the console. To
keep that data, merge should be used.
