4.6 Dragging and dropping

The majority of the actions that you perform on onscreen items (from panels and four-wires, to audio
meters and conferences) are achieved by dragging and dropping items with the mouse.

Dragging and dropping is used to:

• Move items between screens (for example, from the canvas to the palette and back again).

• Assign items (such as panels, four-wires, idents, labels, meters, telephones and monitors) to

conferences and Port Viewers.

• Remove / unassign items (usually by dragging the attached item away to a blank part of the

screen) from conferences and Port Viewers.

To drag and drop an item:

1. Click and hold the item (such as a panel) you want to move and drag to the desired

onscreen location.

Note:

A dialog or message may be displayed, if the action you are attempting is either restricted or
prohibited.

Tip:

A range of prompts and restrictions can be set up in Settings, to help control the creation

and management of conferences (see 4.19 Using the Settings screen).

2. To place or release the item, release the mouse.

4.7 Undoing and redoing

Unless you have saved changes to the project file (*.ccr), most of the actions you carry out in
Production Maestro Pro can be undone.

To undo the last action, click Undo [ ] in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Clicking the down arrow associated with Undo [ ], opens a drop-down list of previous
actions. Selecting:

• The topmost action will undo the last action.

• An action further down the list will undo both that action and all the other actions after

it, up to the top of the list.

Undone actions can also be redone.

To redo the last undone action, click Redo [ ] in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Clicking the down arrow associated with Redo [ ], opens a drop-down list of undone actions.
Selecting:

• The topmost action will redo the last undone action.

• An undone action further down the list will redo both that action and all the other

actions after it, up to the top of the list.
