Closer…   3″ 194.0m 3.02 PFT Red Strobing Comet To Short Peony To Short Popcorn Crackle

Thanks for the suggestions.  I’ll keep an eye out.   I exported the script window to Excel, then cross referenced it with my Cobra script and it looks like nothing else was missing.   I’ll keep an eye on types (don’t think it was DMX, since I’m not using any of that in this show) and be sure to save a copy of the broken file for troubleshooting if it happens again.   – Brad

This is a small thing, but I always end up with all these half or 3/4 sheets of labels, which on a small label like the Avery xx67 (80/sheet) is a lot of waste! It would be cool if the label report let me give a start #, so if I gave it “11” on a 4-column x 20-row label sheet, it would start halfway down the 1st row, and not try to print anything on the first 10 label spots (that I presumably already used in a previous run).

Thanks Drew, I was doing that with the saving but wasn’t getting a good result. Turns out the column width in the script window had to be a lot larger than what seemed to be right, it’s not 1 to 1 which is fine it just throws you off a bit that’s all. Attached the photos showing how large I had to make the script columns to get the result I did in PDF in case others have questions about it later.  

great idea

Feature Request – Preview effect inside “Edit Effect VDL” dialog   It would be nice to be able to preview the VDL effect inside the VDL editor, instead of having to “Enter”, add the effect to your show, and hit play. I want to be able to add a keyword, remove a keyword, change a value, etc. and be able to play the changes immediately instead of having to exit the dialog.

Hi Brad, if line item in the Script window has an address, and the effect has a valid ‘Type’ in the Per-show effects collection in the Effects window, then it should be in the exported script file. Obviously, it’s not impossible for things to be missing, but it’s very unlikely to be a pervasive issue in your show. To build confidence that nothing is missing, add a filter for ‘Type’ using the blue gear icon in the Script window, then check the list of types in the drop-down to make sure they are valid. As an example of a bad ‘Type’, I recently helped a user that had 6 effects missing when he exported his script. The reason was because the ‘Type’ for the 6 effects was set to ‘Rack’. Normally, this would have been easy to catch because the ‘Address Show’ feature won’t assign a Rail or Pin number for an effect with Type = Rack. But, in this case the user had hand-keyed in all of his addresses. To fix the issue, all the user had to do was change the Type from Rack to Cake for that effect in the Per-Show effects collection and the script exported perfectly.
