Multiple dimmers ?

You can do this, but as David stated, you will lose this when you clear the command line (by design).

Doing this in Park is probably the cleanest way, though, as you can do the same but not lose them until you wish. You can also quickly unpark everything by simply giving a Park Enter command.

Given that you can also park directly from the Live command line (eg 1 + 2 At 25 Park Enter), and that Park is a mode on the radio remote - does that help?

Thanks for the replies and I believe you've answered my question, which seems to be that YES, multiple dimmers can be set at level in a live/stage mode from the RRFU. 

It also appears that the Park functionality has changed somewhat (I'll be doing some more manual reading).

The general complaint (in Express/Expression OS) has always been the inability to access multiple dimmers from RFU - I.E. "Dimmer 1 AND 5 @ 50", etc....  Yes you could always use Park, but then lose the ability to use + and - for single dimmers as needed.  Park also tends to get used a lot for keeping things ON that you don't want OFF (relays ?, DF-50's, etc...) thus doing the usual Dimmer - Release - Enter - Enter, as on the Express, takes stuff out you want left on. 

Having the ability to group a bunch of dimmers is helpful when focusing conventional on rigs that have unit per dimmer, but with multiple dimmers patched to a channel.  Sometimes you don't want to see units that have not yet been focused, but want to sequentially add in the fixtures - dimmer by dimmer, as you focus a wash, as example. 

Thus the OP and hopefully this is truly a new feature to the Eos/Ion OS.
