The Restore Cue function helps you precisely reposition machines during show preparation and rehearsal.
Restore Cue allows you to move machines to their most recent target positions, ensuring that the machines are in the correct starting position. To avoid risking collisions, move each machine individually and make sure the travel path for each machine is clear before running the move.
A typical senario during rehearsals is that a director often request revisiting specific moments in the show. Consider a 10-cue production where you're currently at Cue 6, and the director wants to return to Cue 4. However, not all cues move every machine. In our example, lets pretend that only one machine moved in Cue 3, but we have 4 machines in our show. Simply re-running Cue 3 won't guarantee all machines are in the correct starting position for Cue 4.
By using Restore Cue, you can:
Move all your machines to the correct starting position
Move machines individually
Prevent potential set piece collisions
Right-click the cue header of the cue you want to restore - this is usally the cue just before the cue you are about to run again
Select "Restore Cue" to open the Restore Stage Window
Select machine(s) you want to move by:
Single click for one machine
Ctrl+Click for multiple non-consecutive machines
Shift+Click for consecutive machines
Choose the Playback for loading moves
Set Speed, Acceleration, and Deceleration values
Click the Load icon to prepare the movement
Press GO on the loaded playback to execute
Repeat for each machine until all are correctly positioned
Close the Restore Stage Window after completing all moves
Moving machines individually can help prevent potential collisions.
