Selection Keys & Options

Edward Updated by Edward

Select Active

Click on this button to select all the channels whose intensity is above 0. This button also has a menu that can be accessed by clicking the arrow to the right of the button. Use this menu for the following options:

  • Select active fixtures excluding subs – Select any active fixtures not currently under the control of a submaster.
  • Select all fixtures – All of the patched fixtures in the system will be selected.
  • Select inactive (off) fixtures – All of the fixtures whose intensity is 0 will be selected.
  • Select changed fixtures – Selects any fixtures whose values have changed as the result of manual adjustments.
  • Select active (submasters) – Selects all fixtures currently being controlled by a submaster.
  • Select last updated fixtures – Select any fixtures whose values have changed as the result of updating a cue.
  • Select dark moves - Select all channels with attributes moving in the current live or blind cue that do not have intensity. The resulting selection will exclude any changes resulting from marking.
  • Select redundant data - Select all channels in the current live or blind cue that have instructions redundant to the previous tracked state.
  • Invert current selection – All of the fixtures currently selected will become unselected and the ones that were not selected will become selected.
  • Select previous – If a new group of fixtures has been selected, this option will return the display to the previous selection.
NEO Notes & Tips: The next 4 options are repeats of those available in the “Tools & Macros” tab of the “Select” pulldown and are described in “Selection Tools & Macros” below.
  • Inclusive selection mode – This is a toggle option that will have a small check mark next to it when turned on and the button will display a small “Inc” flag. If the “inclusive selection” option is active, then each selection made will be added to the previous selection. All fixtures currently selected will remain selected unless they are in the new selection area. Any selection will toggle the selection state of a channel/fixture.
  • If this option is active, a new option “Clear selection after setting channels” will appear and the flag will change to “Inc*” when enabled. This option overrides the inclusive selection mode if a new selection of fixtures is made after the previously selected channels’ level has been altered.
  • Active selection mode – This is a toggle option that will have a small check mark next to it when turned on. Turn on the active selection option for fixtures to go to the ON level whenever selected. The fixtures will also turn OFF if the fixture is unselected. When active selection mode is enabled the “Select Active” button will be highlighted in red as a warning.
Clear Selected

Click on this button to unselect all fixtures in the grid.

Select Last & Select Next

These buttons perform several operations depending on the following conditions:

  • If no fixtures are selected in the grid, these buttons will select the previous or next cue in the current cue list assigned to the master playback.
  • If a single channel/fixture is selected, then these buttons will select the previous/next patched channel relative to the current selection. This behavior only works if “Inclusive selection mode” is off.
  • If a range of fixtures is selected, then these buttons will select the previous/next channel/fixture in the range and will loop past the end/beginning. The “Clear Selected” button must be clicked to reset this behavior.
