Lesson 12 Tut3

DMXControl 3 lessons

Overview

In this lesson we explain advanced edit features for scenes and scene lists, e.g. for modification of already saved scenes.

Lecture 12: Editing scenes and scenelists

In lesson 8 we introduced the scene lists. In this lecture more advanced features are explained.

By default a new scene is added to an existing scene list by pressing the button "Store Cue". When you open the small dropdown arrow on right hand side of this button you see some more sophisticated capabilities with their short code. In most cases you have to mark a scene at first before applying this modification.

Hint: The following operations are related to the values in the programmer.

Function	short code	Description	Comment
Add	Strg+A	add a new scene to scene list at the end	default
Insert	Strg+I	insert a new scene to scenelist before selected scene
Replace	Strg+R	replace current scene attributes by the values in the programmer
Merge	Strg+M	merges selected scene with programmer values	programmer values with higher priority
Append	Strg+P	append new property from programmer to the selected scene	existing scene with higher priority, new values from programmer are added
Subtract	Strg+B	remove a property from selected scene	hint: modify the wanted property so that this appears in the programmer
Update	Strg+U	no function yet

In similar way, there are also edit operations for the scene list itself. As known from EXCEL, you can copy, cut and delete whole rows.

Again, here is the summarizing table for explanation:

Function	short code	Description	Comment
Cut	Strg+X	cut the selected scene
Copy	Strg+C	copy the selected scene
Paste	Strg+V	paste the selected scene
Delete	Del(Entf)	delete the selected scene
Copy content	Strg+Alt+C	??
Paste content	Strg+Alt+V	??
