i can see the import option, but how do i export?

i try to create Multi labels that are showing Location, PD/Dimmer and Channel Nr.

Somehow i didnt managed to get the Channel Nr. shown up on the label. Everything else works fine.

Is this a bug or is there any fault on my site?

Hey Mate, I've attatched my file here, Would it be possible to add the option to custom name "ports" on the data distrubtors?

Would be nicer to read on the Loom Page, Instead of Port 18 etc,

It could be a custom name like Universe 1 Port 1, it would work better for the way we do data system here

Choice Thanks!!

I have ethercons in my looms and cant work out a way of labelling them.

If it was possible to have ethercon in the cable list i could use this and drag one onto them.

Or let me custom label cables in the loom.

Is there a work around?

thanks

I have a problem with the Chauvet Outcast 1 BeamWash.

We use it in 37CH mode now if I replace the fixtures to a custom fixture because that mode is not in patchprinter, he doesn't apply the correct mode I just filled in the custom fixture.

Kind regards,

Alex

I am trying to link a generic splitter on an output of a node. Is this possible because i can't get it to work.

It would be nice to see the name of the splitter on the output of the node.

Thx,

Alex

How do i add an LK37 Breakout's to the patchprinter? i would like to create an overview for the technician in the field how he has to patch the node rack's

thx in advance!

i try to create an PD template but i stuck at a specific point.

I attached a picture of the PD im talking about.

At the top right corner of every outlet are the number of the associated fuse.

I want that numbers to appear on the paperwork without having 6 rows of Schuko in the Totals.

If I put all Schukos in one Bay with 6 channels and the first column to "Bay Nr" all Schuko rows at staying at 1.

If I put every Shuko in a single Bay i've got for every Schuko Bay a row in the Totals.

If i set it to "Bay Channel Nr" all the CEE's are showing 1-3

Any thoughts on this?

greetings

I'm working on a label template for the StageSmarts C72tv Rack and had the idea to make the stickers per half, so each time 9 units with a gap between the 6th and 7th. And for the other half, the gap is between the 3rd and 4th. The layout is all successful, but when I print this out, only the first 8 units per label are filled with data.

How can I ensure that this counts through to the 18th unit per row?

Thanks in advance,

Bart

Screenshot Patchprinter:

Screenshot printed pdf:

Is there a way to disable/remove the footer on the sheets generated?

Currently - my licence name is too long, and will overlap ontop of page numbers ect, & looks messy.

Any help/feedback is appreciated.

Cheers.

Like the new feauture to publisch to pdf, but is it possible to get a pop-up for the location and name of the safe.

Kind regards,

Alex

Is there a way to label the Ethercons if you add them to a loom? Either by being able to add Ethercon as a cable or as a direct label in the loom?

Cheers

Is it possible to link different channels of a multi with the break-in conversion on to two different dimmers? I have a case were a 8ch han16 is full of dimmable fixtures but i only have 6ch dimmers. These dimmers have a 8ch han16 but the last two channels are fix 230v outputs. I would like to put the two last channels of the han16 on a second dimmer.

Thanks in advance.

I have a brother ql-820 labelprinter and i have the problem that is scales the whole a4 page onto the label. I also have a Brother PT-P900w on the way. Does somebody have a template for this printer?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having an issue where I can't get the wattage to show up on my PD sheets. Current does work.

Any idea what this might be?

Thanks,

Sting

In the firm we have PD's and dimmers with parallel outputs on han16 and schuko. How do i manage this in the template manager?

I also have the problem with the break-in conversion that i can't patch onto two different dimmers.

Thanks in advance!

Heres how it looks when using the PD template in edit view.

Once I go to print view I get this

I've tried this with my custom template and the generic template built into the software and the output is the same. The info is there, as shown by the correct location been shown. The text however is white.

At the moment it's rendering the software useless as I can't produce any paperwork without this issue. Let me know if this is just a me issue or if it can be reproduced.

I have added a note to my fixtures. I'd like the show the notes on the PD/Dimmer Page, so I added an extra column in the Template manager, and set the 'type' of this column to 'note'. Unfortunately nothing appears in the column when I add some fixtures to the Dimmer/PD.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or maybe the 'Type-note' is not the note from the fixture, but from somewhere else.

Is this the right way to add a note column? Or is it not possible to add the Note from a fixture to the page at all?

Ps. I also added the note to my fixture labels, this is working fine; it shows the Note on the label.

Kind regards,

Maarten

If I create a new Dimmer in the Template manager with 6 Schuko outputs, I won't be able to connect a HAN16 multi to the dimmer: wrong cable type. -> Is there a break-in feature in Patch Printer?

As a work-around I made a HAN16 output on the dimmer, to function as a break-in. But I still won't be able to connect a HAN-16 cable to the dimmer -> The cable has 8 channels and the dimmer only 6 channels.

How can I make this work?

Thanx!

is there any way to sort the Resource Tree?

e.g. by Universe or by Location

1. The ability to CSV Export a specific list eg. Cable list so I can import it into my Dymo Label printing software. or support for these labels printers. Dymo/P-touch.
2. The ability to give a fixture two power sources eg. 8 Cell mole which has to 16a connectors Or to be able to give them fixture numbers and a letter eg. 801-A & 801-B
3. When making loom lists it will only add colour onto the printed list if all the looms are the same colour i.e. for the same area. If I could add the location colour on the cable list and then this would show up in the paperwork this would be helpful. e.g. Spare with white or a motor cable with earth tape or a feeder loom which then breaks out for different areas
4. as far as I can see there is no way to add DMX to the cable list so I'm unable to include DMX in my looms

Thanks,

G

is it possible to adjust the channel count of cables?

I can see the entry in the properties-window but it is not editable.

As we are using Han 16 with only 6 channels i have always two empty channels on the paperwork...

I'm new to the software. I was wondering what the best way is to import the data from Patch printer to wysiwyg.

I've tried .mvr and .csv files but none of them seem to get the dessired result. Any tips on how to do it correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Over some time i got some things maybe to implement or to have a look at. Maybe some points are already said, but here is my list.

• If i put a Han16 on a PSU with only 6 fixed output channels i dont get a warning if i put a fixture on my 7th or 8th multi channel.
• Is it posible to add an undo option, it would have maked me happy a lot for sure in the start of using your tool.
• If i replace a fixture with higher dmx channels, i dont get a warning sign that my dmx is overlapping. in the universe view it gets red, but there is no warning sign at the sidebar.
• Maybe i did something wrong but when i tried to patch a Multi which i use on PD1 and i want to use some channels on PD2 i can't get it done.
• Is it posible to choose in sheets between the full or short name
• i want to make an overview of all my LK37 boxes in the field and with that i want to make an overview of all those boxes and link them to an output of node, so LK37-Floor 1 - Node 6 out 2. see image
• Can you make an option to add or own pdf files in the publish view, now i have to edit in an extern program and add the pdf file in between the publisched file. if i can add it in the program and put it in the publisch screen.
• in the template manager is it posible to put the start number in of the bay, you can now say start at 1 but i can't give in a number of my own.
• Maybe it's an idea for the futher to make a library for PD/Dimmers and data distributors for companies, so i i can just search for a company and see all of there dimmers and racks in the right layout.

Thanks for all the great work and keep it going!

greetings Tim

I have a question about how you manage your DMX universes in Vectorworks. It seems in the demo video that you use a ‘universe’.’node output’. (1.1 for example) method for delineating the universe and DMX cable going to each light. I like the concept, but if I input 1.1 into the universe field in VWX it does not accept it. (A whole number is required). How do you work around this?

Cheers,

With the ethercon i would like to label it the same as my data distributors as i am using a sneak snake system.

thanks,

I'd like to print some PD labels. The distro's I'm using have 3 trips then a small gap then the other 3 trips for each soca. The red arrow below is where I'd like to insert a small gap. At the moment I can't figure out how to do this.

Let me know if someone has done this or there's a workaround.
