Import a layout into a concert
1. In Layout mode, choose Import Layout from the Action pop-up menu in the upper-right
corner of the workspace (or press Control-Command-O).
2. In the Open dialog, select the layout you want to import.
3. Click Open.
The layout for the concert changes to the imported layout.
Because of the wide variety of possible layouts, not all assignments and mappings may
be converted as you intended, depending on the differences between the layouts. After
you import a layout into a concert, be sure to try the screen controls in the concert to see
if they work as expected. After importing the layout, you may need to manually reassign
some controls and then manually remap screen controls in your patches for the concert
to work with the new layout. If the imported layout has fewer screen controls than the old
layout, or has different types of screen controls, you may have to add new screen controls
after importing and then assign physical controls to the screen controls to maintain the
same level of functionality.
