Magic Sheets 457
Fixture Symbols
From the second tab, fixture symbols can be placed on a magic sheet. The symbols can be tied
to a channel number. Information about that channel can be displayed with the symbol, such
as intensity, FCB data, and error indicators. See
MS Object Properties (on page 460)
for more
information on the customizing options available.
Importing Fixture Symbols
Additional fixture symbols can be imported. The symbol must be saved as a .svg image file,
and needs to be tagged properly. These tags can be linked to the channel’s color, intensity or
both.
The outline section needs to be tagged as etc_symbol_outline0, etc_symbol_outline, and / or
etc_symbol_outline2. The base section needs to be tagged as etc_symbol_base0, etc_symbol_
base, and / or etc_symbol_base2. Tags can be layered, and they will render in the order listed
below:
•
etc_symbol_base0 - uses fill color intensity link (not color)
•
etc_symbol_base - uses fill color and intensity link
•
etc_symbol_base2 - uses fill color intensity link (not color)
•
etc_symbol_outline0 - uses outline intensity link (not color)
•
etc_symbol_outline - uses outline color and intensity link
•
etc_symbol_outline2 - uses outline intensity link (not color)
Tags that only link to intensity will cause the base or outline to dim based on the channel’s
intensity.
The edits to the tags in the .svg file can be made in any text editor program, such as Notepad,
or in a .SVG editor program, such as Inkscape.
