Are you running MA3D as a windows administrator? Right-click on the desktop icon and choose {Run as Administrator}, or to make it always do that, right-click, go to Properties, go to the "Compatibility" tab, check the box near the bottom that says "Run this program as a Windows administrator" (or something along those lines), Apply and Close.

Yes. (open link in new tab)

Right-click = Edit, so press and then tap the object in question. Long-press also still works in spreadsheet cells.

There is a bug where in specific circumstances updating a preset as Global will store as selective if you don't have all the attributes of a feature activated. Perhaps that's what you're experiencing.

There's a predefined macro to export the sequence sheet.

As I mentioned, you can change this via syntax (and thus a macro).

Another approach would be to have one set of RGB faders with all of your fixtures in them. Then have a macro that takes the current selection, stores it as a world, and assigns that world as a playback filter on your faders.

Is your Encoder Link (button between {Gobo 1} and {Value Layer} and above 1st encoder) set to "Link Feature"? Try changing it to "Link Single."

You want the fader to control both executors simultaneously? Or you just don't want to go into the menu to change the Surface? The Surface can be changed via command line syntax - "Surface #" - and so could be put into a macro if you wanted.

When you see this happen I would suggest looking at your Command Line Feedback to see what exact syntax was executed. I'm guessing you'll see a playback action with the Sequence targeted instead of the Executor. If you're not totally sure, feel free to post a picture here. Or you can always contact your local distributor (if you're not sure who that is, you can email tech-&

I think you're seeing a Sequence running from the Sequence Pool. When this happens, the Sequences are running on a virtual Executor with numbers like you are seeing. If you, for example, ever execute the syntax "Go Sequence #", you're running the Sequence in the pool (on a virtual Exec), not on the physical Exec to which you've assigned it.

Or without variables: - Store Sequence (what sequence number?) Cue (what cue number?) ("label for cue?")

If you're using Move In Black, this could potentially be the culprit.

To answer the other part of the question though, I would not assume a fader moves to 0 just because the executor has turned off. In MA, fader position and executor status (on/off) are not inextricably linked. (They can be related in certain circumstances, but there is no rule saying an executor that is off must have its fader at 0, and an executor that is on must have its fader above 0.)

You could also have been trying to Record timecode triggers in a Sequence. For example if you pressed MA+Store and then tapped on an Executor. Next time, if you tap on the record icon on the right side of the command line the Message Center should tell you what you're recording and then just execute MA+Store (Record) plus that object again: - Record Exec 1.101 to start - Record Exec 1.101 aga

Option 4: Create a custom Form (technically either three custom forms or one form with three sub-forms - you're creating one form for each color attribute). Something like this (adjusting RGB values as desired to get the actual color you want) X = 0 (Green) - Red Y = 0 - Green Y = 100 - Blue Y = 0 X = 33.33 (Yellow) - Red Y = 100 - Green Y = 100 - Blue Y = 0 X = 66.67 (Red)

Assuming you have your fixtures selected already... Attribute <name> At Fade x Delay y Presettype <name> At Fade x Delay y Presettype Thru At Fade x Delay y

If you know the sequence, you can just say: - List Cue "name" OR - List Sequence # Cue "name"

If your macro name is unique and not a keyword, you can omit the quotes entirely

I'm curious what instructions you were looking at, as this process changed (to what Rex outlined) ~5 years ago.

Is the node an "onPC" node or a regular node?

So to clarify... - You are able to get the dropdown to choose an IP address - You choose the IP address you want - You close and reopen onPC - It's still using the old IP address Is that an accurate summary?

Are you in a Session already? If so, make sure you leave the session first.

@lelesp - note: if you use glad's suggestion of different FixtureType definitions, this will of course also mean different Global Preset values to manage

If you always know which specific fixtures you're going to have selected then yes, just add a line to specify that this fixture gets +1 and that fixture gets -1. If you don't know which fixtures it will be, then not that I can think of without some sort of ridiculous Lua trickery.

You might try the steps in this bulletin (including all the ones in the bulletin linked in step 1): (open link in new tab)

You cannot change the IP address of your Windows computer from the grandMA2 onPC application. You have to do this in your Windows network settings.

DMX invert is not represented in Stage View or 3D - only in real life.

Encoder Invert only applies to the encoders. If you want everything inverted you should use DMX Invert. This will apply to stored values as well, which you could fix by doing something like: Replace Fixture x Thru y Attribute "Pan" At -400 Thru 400 With 400 Thru -400

USB to Ethernet requires drivers that aren't built into the OS. I suggest you contact your local distributor for hardware support.
