Magic sheet questions

I have a couple of questions about magic sheets.

I am working on a tv show we have 2 sets standing in the stage so I made 2 magic sheets. It seem that I can only have a single tab for magic sheets. Is that correct? I cant have 1 tab wit MS1 and another tab with MS2? I really just want to toggle back and forth. Maybe I will have to write a macro for that.

Next question,

I exported a pdf from my ion and it had all the usual info but no magic sheet. I was sort of hoping I could print that out. I suppose I will need to load up the show file on my laptop and then grab a screen shot and then print that. Is there a better way?

Overall I like the magic sheets so far. It was a little awkward at first but the learning curve was pretty easy and I was abel to plot everything out pretty quickly.

Thanks for any help,

Jim

I can't help with the first question, but as for printing you should be able save as an image from the magic sheet editor. I haven't tried this on the console yet, just on the OLE.

Set your view. Click the gears, then the right most option below the back ground color setting is "Save as image". The only immediate issue I see is that the Intensity indicator on all channels (Red FL) and the grid if on gets recorded in the image. I guess you could temporarily get rid of the intensity field for the purpose of the screenshot, or just ignore it.

and to get a screenshot of a certain view or section of the scrren, just zoom in and then use the triangle menu to Save As Screenshot.

you can have two magic sheet tabs open: Display > Browser > Displays > Magic Sheet Display > new, just like you would open a second Live display.

have fun

On any console except Element, multiple magic sheet tabs can be opened from the browser, under "Displays/Magic Sheet Display".
