Override buttons.

Post by krissherbert »

Ha. Me again. Next question. Have set up a page with a load of override buttons. Say about 80.

But! When some do the same thing but on different fixtures they snap to the page they're on. Eg. Page 1 lamp on for front set. Page 3 lamp on for back set.

When I hit the overide on page one it also selects the one on page 3.

The Override buttons are tricky when you get over 32. I think the software gets confused when you try putting more than 1 page of buttons on 1 page of a touchscreen. This may or may not be a bug, may just be that it is the way the software was written pre touchscreens.
Have you tried all of your buttons using the actual override buttons in the software interface? I would see if they function there properly or if it is only a touchscreen issue.

Yeah override buttons work fine on touch 1 as you have to flick between the tabs. It's on touch 2 when you have more than 32 it causes an issue.

Surely this is a bug? As you should be able to have them all on one page?

Is this the same with cues then?

When adding the override buttons use the "override button..." (the one right below "override button 32") option and manually add each button starting from 1 to whatever you want...when u added the buttons "override button 1, 2 and so on" it seems to link that button # to the same button # on every override tab...use the "override button..." option & you'll get what u want...

So if i start from scratch adding, override button... and start at 1.

Will it pull the name from the override button? and then can have as many overides as possible?

Yes start from scratch and u can have up to 96...the name of the button will match the name of the button in the program preceeded by the button #...hopefully they change that cuz the numbers waste valueable name space...WARNING: If u change the button name and use the "allow custom captions" option it messes things up...see my problem/bug when using "custom captions"
