Fixture selection
There several different ways to select fixtures from desktop in order to activate them for programming.
Select by clicking icons - click with the left mouse button on the fixture icon on the desktop. This
fixture now becomes the "Master fixture". By subsequently clicking on other fixture icons, these will
be selected as well.
Rubber band selection - another method is "rubber banding" a number of fixtures in one go. Do this by
holding the left mouse button down and drag a dotted square to include the fixtures to be selected.
Fixture de-selection - to de-select the fixtures either left click on individual icons or "rubber band" an
empty piece of desktop to deselect all fixtures.
Fixtures may also be selected through the fixture groups dialog.
Selection modes and filters
/
This button, located on the fixture tool bar and duplicated in the fixture groups dialog, is used to
switch between selecting single (solo select) or multiple fixtures. Clicking the button toggles between
inclusive and exclusive modes. When in Inclusive mode, selecting new fixtures will add the fixture to
the current selection. When in Exclusive mode, selecting a fixture (or group of fixtures) will deselect
all other fixtures. This allows selection of one fixture at a time, just by clicking the fixture icon. This
function may also be assigned to a keyboard hotkey function.
These buttons, also located on the fixture tool bar, selects and de-selects all fixtures respectively.
