Editing
The Edit Multiple Delegates dialog lets you define groups of delegates and set
parameters for them. You can create and store up to 10 different configurations
or settings combinations; each consists of one or more delegates and settings
for the delegates. The parameters are mostly the same as those found in the
delegate object's
Motion Parameters rollout on page 4813, with the following
exceptions and additions.
■ Each setting has an associated SET check box, which lets you determine
whether the setting has any effect. When off (the default), the setting has
no effect. When on, the setting affects the specified delegate or delegates
when you click the Apply Edit button.
■ Each numeric parameter has two Value settings and an associated Random
check box, which lets you specify a random value within a specified range
for each member of the group. By default, Random is off, and the Value 1
setting is applied for all parameters with SET turned on. If you turn on
Random for a parameter, its Value 2 setting becomes available. If you then
specify a different setting for Value 2, the software calculates a different
random number between Value 1 and Value 2 for each delegate in the
group.
TIP To reset a parameter to a specific value for all delegates in a group after it's
been set to a random value within a range, turn off Random and turn on SET for
the parameter, then set Value1 to the desired value, and then click OK.
