dot2 User Manual - How to...

English
The dot2 will try to name the preset based on it's best guess. This doesn't work if there's no definite value. An
example is position presets. The dot2 simply doesn't know what the fixtures are pointed at, so auto-naming them
doesn't make sense.
Call/Use/Select a Preset
If you store a preset, then you get the link to the preset directly in your programmer. This allows you to store a cue
directly afterwards and have the preset in the cue.
If you need to use a preset, after you have created them, then you have the following options. If you don't have
any fixture selected, then you can tap the preset you want to use. The first tap selects all the fixtures that can use
the preset. You'll need to tap it again to actually get the preset in your programmer.
If you have a selection of fixture and you tap a preset then it's only the fixtures that can actually use the preset
that gets the preset in the programmer.
Once you have the preset values in your programmer, then you can store a cue, a new preset or take the values
out of your programmer again.
Update a preset
If you need to update the values in the preset then you need to select the fixtures you want to update and give
them the value you want, then press the
This is the same as pressing
Choose Store Method
Now the values in your preset have changed. If you use the preset in a cue somewhere then this cue will now look
different - it uses the updated values.
If you have used a preset in a cue and you add new values (not changing the existing ones) or add more fixtures
to the preset, then this new information isn't added in your previous saved cue. Cues only looks for the values
that was originally stored in the cue.
Delete a preset
You can delete a preset by pressing
somewhere, then you get a warning window, asking if you really want to delete the preset.
If you choose to delete a used preset, then the values currently in the preset are copied to the cues where it's used.
So your cues still works.
If you Oops this deletion, then you get the preset back but the link between the cue and preset is still broken and
you won't get that back.
