24.4.3
Copy Full State
If you have a cue that you want to use again later in a show and you want it to look exactly the
same next time you use it then you must ensure that you copy the full state of the playback.
The default settings of the copy cue function in a tracking cue-list will copy the tracked and
hard values of a cue but it might not include a value for every attribute of the fixtures in the
cue-list. Therefore, the copy might not produce the identical output because some attributes
might take on tracked values from earlier cues.
To copy the full state of the source cue, drag the source cue and drop it in its new location as
described above. In the “Copy/Move options” dialog box that opens, select
“
Blocking - incoming fixtures only
”.
Click
OK
.
Tip: If you are plotting a theatre show, it might be a good idea to record your first cue with
every fixture having a value. This ensures that when you are copying full states later in your
cue list, the state of your source cue will always be reproduced correctly. To do this, select
every fixture in your show and then in the Programmer click
Grab
then select
Grab
Default
and record this in your cue list as cue 0.1 and make it a follow cue so that it will
automatically advance to Cue 1 (which could be your curtain warmers or walk in look for
example).
