Tips
Here are some things that are convenient to know when creating a project.
Q: I want to create multiple widgets of the same design.
A: After designing one widget, copy and paste the widget, then
change the category; alternatively, use [Copy Style] then [Paste
Style], and then drag and drop parameters to create multiple wid-
gets of the same design.
If you want all widgets to have the same design, you can register it
as the master style so that it will be the default design.
You can also work more efficiently by using functions such as
Group, Repeat, and Duplicate to Other Channels.
Q: Is there a suggested size for widgets?
A: Try designing the widgets with a size of approximately 1 cm for
the slider knobs or dial grips. On the Yamaha CL series, the fader
knobs are 1 cm wide.
When you change the screen size, the size of previously-placed
widgets changes accordingly. If you change the screen size, you
should also change the size of the widgets.
Q: I want to enable screen lock using a button, rather than after a
specified length of time.
A: Place a “Page Control Button” widget, and in the “Properties” area,
in “Control,” set “Page Control Action” to [Screen Lock].
If you want to specify an image for when the screen is locked, go to
the “Setup” dialog box’s [Security] tab, select the Screen Lock
[Enable] check box, and specify an image. After making these set-
tings, you can clear the Screen Lock [Enable] check box so that
screen lock is not applied after a specified length of time, but the
image setting for screen lock is maintained. Button operation and
the passage of time can both be used together to activate screen
lock.
Q: I want to hide the work area grid.
A: In page properties, set the [Dot Color] Alpha value to 0.
Q: I want to control a device that’s on a different subnet.
A: When registering the device, use the [Match Device by] list box to
select [IP Address], and specify the IP address. To change a device
registered using [Unit ID] to registration by IP address, select the
device in the “Devices” area, then in the “Properties” area’s [Iden-
tifier] click “Value” and use the “Edit Device Identifier” dialog box
to make the change.
