Original LXSeries Forum

Hi, It has been a while since I have had time to work on LXConsole. But, there have not been many comments here. LXConsole was originally an offline cue editor. So, it is not focused on being a live console. The USB/DMX support was added to capture DMX. Once it was there, it was not much to add the ...

Update: The newest LXBeams 0.9.2910 will create a beam for a light inside a selected group if the group contains only one symbol that can create a beam. This resolves the conflict of expectations that appears in the last post by having LXBeams look at the context and deciding how to respond. Directl...

Hold down the option key and click on an object inside a group to edit it individually. Say, for example, you have a color scroller grouped with an instrument. If you select the group and edit the channel, it will change the channel for both. If you option-click the scroller, you can edit just its c...

I have not been able to duplicate your grouping crash. Is there anything more specific you can add that might help reproduce it? Or, do you have the crash log. That may or may not help.

The crash with an imported LXX file and the symbol report is due to a division by zero error. This is now trapped so it won't crash. Having a symbol selected or not would not affect this crash, it would happen with a plot imported from MacLux Pro. Striplights have a more advanced treatment in the LX...

There are a number of posts in the forum about moving fixture symbols. There are some symbols built into LXFree. Symbols are different than key entries. Until recently there has not been support for moving fixtures in a key. You could use a Zoom Leko/ERS kind with a symbol representing a moving fixt...

The latest version of LXFree (1.3beta) rescans for reports, keys and scripts as needed. There is also a "Reload Libraries" button in the preferences to reload colors, frames and lamps.

I see you replied just as I was about to modify my post. It occured to me that you might have modified the library with LXFree running. Yes, the color library is read in when LXFree starts up. If you modify any colors you will need to restart LXFree to see the change. Other library files are read as...

The place to store your custom library files is in the (user)/Library/Application Support/lx/colors folder. User files override any entries in the library files in the main /Library/Application Support/lx folder. Files in the system Library folder may be overwritten when you install an upgrade. For ...

As of LXFree 1.1.7 the Inspector can be minimized to the dock. There is also a disclosure triangle that makes it smaller but leaves it visible. Dragging a more than one selected row in the Positions report is now enabled. The thing about this is that the dragged positions are relocated in the layer'...

Thanks for taking the time to point this out. When something is repeatable, it is much easier to track down and fix. LXFree 1.1.7 fixes this bug.

Hi, Although the Print and Save to PDF method works there is a drawback. If you have a plot that you print on multiple pages, to get a single page PDF you need to adjust the page setup and document size before printing the PDF. And presumably change the page setup back after. Because of this, the la...

Hi, On the Mac, you can back out of a font change using undo. The size of a text field does not change when you change the font because it is possible that it is desired to have extra space around the text. The font is the same for all info fields of the same type. This is primarily a means of disti...

Hi,
Try out LXConsole. It works with LXFree/LXBeams via AppleScript. But also will play DMX from your cue list with DMX/USB interface. I haven't received much feedback about LXConsole. This discussion is not for support. So perhaps there should be a specific LXConsole thread.

The download links you receive by email include a 10.3.9 version. The 10.3.9 version is mostly the same. But some things are not available such as printed headers on reports.
