Keystroke Macro

Hey Cormac,

This should work, and yes you can fire one keystroke Macro from another.
Just be sure there is enough time for the "nested" keystroke Macro to fire.

The one thing that jumps out at me with your set-by-step is to be sure you select "Edit" in the editor once your Cue has been Open-ed to make changes stick. Also depending on your User Preference settings you may need to de-select all once Edit has been activated.

Also your Macro-1 should not Open the Cue if your second Macro is going to do this, or you will end up with multiple Editors open for the same Cue at the same time.

Basically your first Macro should only be:

Group 99 Copy Fixture Group 100
Enter Update Enter

Then your second one should be:
Choose Master 10
Cue 1 Open
Edit
Macro 1 Enter
Close Editor
Cue 2 Open
Edit
Macro 1 Enter
Close Editor
..........etc........etc

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks C

Hey,
Maybe someone can tell me.
If i want to create a keystroke macro that fires another "nested" macro what would the keyboard shortcut be.
Currently I'm using for example.
"F5 1 enter" which i think should fire macro 1 ?
When i open the Macro to edit it is correct but when it runs i get
"unit 1" coming into the command line.
I am able to fire the macro 1 using comment macros in a cue-list but ideally would love to able to get another macro to trigger.
Is it something to do with the command line information within the macro that fires it possibly.Manual only gives some information on command line.

Regards C

That is indeed the correct syntax.

Sounds like your keyboard might not be in MAP mode for keyboard shortcuts to be enabled....check to the right of the command line and make sure you see "MAP" in blue text....if it says "Abc" in black text you need to press Pause/Break to toggle over to shortcut mode.

Hope this helps. :)
