Simple channel copy script

[mbirame]

Hi guys,
I am brand new to these scripts, and I took a script from here that duplicated channel settings from one group of channels and copied them somewhere else and then cleared the first channel. It also worked on all banks and presets.

All I wanted was a simple copy and paste script for copying (not moving) all the settings of one fixture to another. Like the original script that I modified, you need to go in to the script and hard code the starting channel and ending channel number of the channels you are copying. Then you put in the starting channel number for where you are copying it to.

For example if you want to copy channels 1-4 to 10-13 in the script you will put this:

Code: Select all

# EDIT THESE (enter numbers in the range 1-512)
startCh = 1
endCh = 4
destCh = 10

Then save the script and run it. This does NOT save settings in other presets, etc, as it didn't fit my specific needs to do that. I hope it helps others!

Hey David,
Is it extensive work to build in a GUI ability for scripts so that something like a pop up would come up so a user could input the value ranges for this sort of script? Could be a great way to extend usability for people that don't want to dive in to the code...

Great question, is it a python issue or a DMXIS limitation on getting user input?

Does it support the raw_input() command?

Like endCh = raw_input('enter the ending chan')
