My solution — the Source Four Savvy Section. A single plug-in object with all of the following options:

• Set any yoke angle, tilt angle, and flip.
• Switch between front or side views.

• Show short yoked.
• Switch between Standard, 90-deg, 70-deg, 14-deg, 10-deg, and 5-deg barrel types.
• Add a top hat, half hat, color extender, or scroller of any standard size.

I trust things are going well for you.

We've posted updates for each of our current line-up of Plug-In Objects. For the most part, this means a few tweaks and the addressing of some fairly minor bug fixes here and there. These modifications are in direct response to user feedback.

The updates for current VideoScreen 4, Staging ToolSet, SoftGoods, StageLift, and Audio ToolSet licenses are free-of-charge to license holders of those tools. Simply use the link and password you used for your initial download.

If you're one of our users, did not get this notice e-mailed to you, and want your info updated, (or, if you're not one of our users and just like getting e-mail) would you drop me a message through our Web site?

Thanks!]]> Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:57:52 +0100 http://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=41030 http://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=40876 Design and Drafting release LD Assistant 2010

I am not from ETC nor do I have any association with them but I thought I would mention that the new v1.9 software is now available for Eos, Ion and Element.

A post from the ETC forum regarding the new features.

"1.9 is now released and available for download. 1.9 adds the following key features:

Changes to update, including update last reference and update references only, as well as the ability to deselect update targets from the update dialogue.
User setup options to determine default update method.
By Type Palettes
Absolute Palettes and Presets
Locked Palettes and Presets
Mac Native as a Client
Releasing I-Master Sub NP content via the bump button Multiple Intensity Effects on a Single Channel Additional Flag in the PSD to indicate Live and Dark moves Scroller Fan Curves Change to Fader Wing Paging Controls Channel mapping on Fader Wings The Scroll Lock key is no longer required for using Hot Keys on external alpha numeric keypads on the Desks, Client and Offline

We have also added Tabs to Ion. As such, the button currently labeled "Swap" now functions as a "Tab" button.
Query and Snapshots have been added to Ion.

The following documents are available for download:
1.9 Manual Supplement
Library Additions in 1.9
Revised Hot Key document

You will also find a 1.9 video posted to the product pages. This video covers at a very top level the changes to update and palettes/presets.

As always, there are a number of defect fixes as well. We encourage you all to upgrade to 1.9 when your schedule permits. There are no known show file compatibility issues between 1.9 and older versions of Eos family software."

Thanks
