Feature Requests: Move Universe, Time RecallFrom

Two feature requests; they're just extensions of current functionality.

 

The first would be a "Move Universe" function in patch.  Often I find I need to re-patch a fixture from one universe to the same address, but in another universe.  This happens sometimes when remounting a show, or expanding it.  It'd be extremely useful when combined with a range of channels (perhaps one returned from a query -- "Everything on this position needs to change which universe it's in....")

 

Syntax would be something like, "Channel 7 Thru 27 MoveTo 2/", with the board knowing enough to auto-complete what's after the slash.

 

The second would be to allow a cue (or discrete timing on a channel) to recall timing from another cue, or from another channel with discrete timing on it.  This is useful when a director acts for a fade "just like the one we did at the end of Act One" without having to worry about all of the particulars.

 

Syntax would be, "Cue [X] Time RecallFrom Cue Y" or "Channel [N] Time RecallFrom Cue Z".

  • The Patch request you want already exists. You aren't trying to move channels to a new channel number so move isn't what you are looking for. select your channels and @ 2/ enter to move them to universe 2 at the same start address.

    I believe the copy timing is on the list but not sure about that.
