Configuring Lustre to Connect to the Autodesk Control Surface
After you have configured the IP address of the control surface, you must configure Lustre to
use the control surface.
To configure Lustre to use the Autodesk control surface on Windows- or Linux-based
workstations:
1. Turn the power on to each of the modules and look at the top display panel on the module.
It should display the panel name and ID.
2. After you install Lustre 2009, open the init.config file located in C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\<lustre version> in Windows, or in /usr/autodesk/<lustre version> in Linux
with a text editor.
3. In the ControlSurface section of the init.config file of your project, enter the panel IDs
for each panel.
ControlSurface
AutodeskPanels state=”On”
PanelIDs function=”0” grading=”0” navigation=”0”
Once the steps above are completed, the ACS panels will be recognized, loaded, and
connected when launching the application.
4. Start Lustre. The following message should appear in the Console:
Panel #<panel_ID> is detected
This confirms that the Autodesk Control Surface is enabled.
Connecting a Stand-Alone Tablet
If you do not have the modular Autodesk control surface panel that includes the tablet, you can
connect a stand-alone tablet.
To connect a stand-alone tablet, connect the tablet to USB Out 1 on the USB extender.
N OTE : On Windows-based workstations, you may need to restart Windows for the tablet to be
recognized. On Linux-based workstations, re-starting the Xserver prompts tablet recognition.
Press C TRL +A LT + BACKSPACE to start the Xserver.
