0 zoomer Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Isn't it possible to assign such a shortcut when you edit your Workspace ? Look for the command and select that, I think at the bottom right is the input field for Shortcuts, if not yet assigned. You have to find a letter + key combination that is not yet used.

0 michaelk Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Not directly. But you can write a simple script and assign that script to a menu command. That menu command can have a keyboard shortcut. This file has two trivial scripts that will turn the beam on or off for the selected instrument. It wouldn't take much to make it actually useful. (work on all selected instruments, or work on all instruments, or toggle instead of dedicated On/Off scripts) Or you could get Sam Jones' tools. He's already done it. hth mk Quick Beam On Off.vwx Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Oh, I was completely wrong. No command but an object setting. So i see that as a valid feature wish. Quote Link to comment

0 michaelk Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Or I could just post the script :-) This will turn the beam on a selected fixture off: SetRField(LSActLayer, 'Lighting Device','Draw Beam','False'); LDevice_Reset(LSActLayer); This will turn the beam on a selected fixture on: SetRField(LSActLayer, 'Lighting Device','Draw Beam','True'); LDevice_Reset(LSActLayer); This is just the bare idea. You would want to add a function that gets called from a For Every loop to call up all the selected light fixtures. I'm almost positive Sam Jones has written a bunch of these. You can used his and assign shortcuts. Or you can add these to your workspace. hth mk Quote Link to comment
