Auto-blocking, + %,-%, Channels in direct select

     I've been useing the eos for six month and am tired of having to constantly go through and clear out soft blocks, because my L.D. is trying to track things while working in cue only.  The manuel says that I should be able to turn off the auto-block in the setup menue, but I am unable to find that option.  I've tried to use the utilities option in the browser, but that doesn't seem to do anything either.  Is there something that I am missing?

     I was also wondering why no matter what I set my plus or minus percent button to, the command line always reads "plus_10" or "minus_10", instead of just a %?

     Finally, when setting one of my direct selects to "Channels" I discovered that the channels that I select remain selected.  Even after m hit an intensity palette button or type in a percentage and hit enter.  It would be great if in some future release you could select channels from a direct select and have them behaved the same way groups do.

  • William, the utility to clean up auto-generated blocks, as well as option to disable auto blocks is not yet implemented.  Will try to get the manual modified so that is pulled out until the features are in. 

    Also, I don't have a desk in front of me right now, but I believe we have done the cleanup on the command line to read "+%" and "-%".  If not, it is on the list to modify.   

     Channels remain selected on the command line until you do something that is unrelated to manual control.  This is true regardless of the operation that puts the selection there.  So, I'm not quite clear on what you mean.   Unless it is related to the selection process?  When using the direct selects, selecting new channels will always add to any other channels you have selected.  If you want to de-select your previous selection, you double-click the new one.  Channel selection from the command line is always a replacement, unless you preface the channel selection with a + or a -.    In this manner, you always have both options... to add to what you already have or to replace what you already have.

    Sorry about any confusion!  Hope this helps.
