New macro: mask channels across all banks/presets

Post by Dave Brown [admin] »

Purpose:
This simple macro disables (masks out) the currently selected channels across ALL banks & presets in the loaded DMXIS show.

Example usage:
You want to add a new fixture to your rig, and plan to control it independently using masked presets. The first thing you need to do (in order to not break your existing show) is mask out the new fixture across all your existing presets - a tedious job. Instead, simply select all channels belonging to the new fixture, and run this macro.

Warnings:
This is a global edit macro, which makes permanent edits to every single bank & preset in your show. I highly recommend you backup your show before running it (either by backing up your DMXIS files as described here or by duplicating your show fiest from the Manage Shows window.
