[Sam Jones]

I just posted a new version 08.1 of AutoPlot Tools for SpotLight for VW 2008. It contains the following fixes, additions, and improvements.

53. Enter Data for Selected

This is an old macro that has been updated to do the following:

a) move the drawing to the fixture being edited and highlight it.

b)New to the latest version there is a "Last (Back)" button.

59. Manually Circuit Assign

This macro will assign circuit number values to each fixture you click on. . The macro will increment each time by the increment level you set. If you do NOT want to increment on the next click press the Space Bar (or any letter key). The circuit number will no longer increment until you press the Space Bar again. Click on nothing (something other than a fixture) to end the macro.

60. Manually Circuit Name Assign

This macro will assign circuit name values (A1,A2,etc.) to each fixture you click on. . The macro will increment each time by the increment level you set. If you do NOT want to increment on the next click press the Space Bar (or any letter key). The channel number will no longer increment until you press the Space Bar again. Click on nothing (something other than a fixture) to end the macro. This macro will go to the next letter when the number of circuits per multicable would be exceeded. If the last multcable letter is "Z" the next multicable letter will be "AA".On Jan 26, 2008, at 8:34 AM, Scott Hennessy wrote:

62. Combine to User Field

This macro will combine any two selected field values into a selected user field. It will give you the option to choose a separator character to separate the values if you wish.

65. Assign Channels Lft to Rt

66. Assign Channels Rt to Lft

67. Assign Channels Top to Bottom

68. Assign Channels Bottom to Top

These macros will assign channel values to all the selected fixtures incrementing by a queried amount from fixture to fixture. The assignment will happen in the screen direction indicated.

69. Assign Dimmers Lft to Rt

70. Assign Dimmers Rt to Lft

71. Assign Dimmers Top to Bottom

72. Assign Dimmers Bottom to Top

These macros will assign channel values to all the selected fixtures incrementing by a queried amount from fixture to fixture. The assignment will happen in the screen direction indicated. These commands know about and pay attention to the 512 barrier in DMX universes, so if your moving light attributes would cross the 512 border, the macro will start that unit in a new universe.

96. Swap Leg Field Places (All)

This macro will swap the positions of two selected fields and do the swap for all label legends.

97. Swap Legend Field Places

This macro will swap the positions of two selected fields and do the swap for selected label legends only.

(These macros are older, but did not work consistently. Now they do.)

99. Copy Label Positions

You can copy the label positions of a placed fixture into all the lights that are selected. For example, if you have moved the label positions on some boom units using the control points for each field, you can copy those positions to as many other boom positions as you desire.
