Grab fixtures selection in Programmer

To grab information from a single cue I know that you can use the Copy button without setting a destination. The syntax looks something like

[List] X [Cue] Y Copy to [Enter]

You should be able to mask this but I do not know the exact syntax off the top of my head.

I'm a little confused about how copying in information from multiple cues would work, especially if the cues are just changing the parameters on a single set of fixtures. I'm not sure how the software would handle this and I cannot see an application for this functionality (not to say there isn't one).

Hi Kevin and thanks for your reply, but i just want to grab a selection and not all the contents of the cue.
Any way to do it ?

Yes you can!
I'm not in front of the desk but if memory serves do the following.
Make your selection followed by enter:
A thru B [Enter]
List X Cue Y Copy to
before pressing enter click on the [more] soft button in the lower toolbar and then [Selected] soft button.
Press [Enter] to finalize your command.
Alternatively you can use this syntax that is even easier and more straightforward.

FixtureA Thru FixtureB List X Cue Y Copy to Enter
Hope this helps

[QUOTE=Philou;59824]I Would want a function to grab a selection of fixtures (no values) that are used in one or more cue(s) in programmer.

That not what is asking, he want to find the selection via the command line.

If i understand what you want, you can do it using the live key
Using the "Live" key ,You can select fixtures from what is on stage, For example:

"Live Enter" : selects all fixtures that are on stage.

You can apply a mask to the selection. This allows you to select all fixtures that are onstage that are assigned to particular values or palettes. For example:

Live @ 50 : selects fixtures that are on stage at 50%.
Live @ 50 Thru 80 : selects fixtures that are on stage at 50% to 80%.
Live @ 0 : selects fixtures that are at 0%.

Using a palette as a mask:
Live [Blue] : selects fixtures that are on stage that are at their ‘Blue’ palette settings.

You can use the Live and / keys together to select fixtures that are both live on stage and in a specified fixture selection:

Live / 1 Thru 5 selects fixtures that are in the range 1 to 5 that are live on stage.
Live / Group 1 selects fixtures that are in Group 1 that are live on stage.

Note that in all the above examples using the Live key only selects fixtures; it does not alter values in the Programmer or editor.

What he need is something like Live cue X or Live List Y cue X but, As I know, there nothing to do that.
