How to make a Macro ? [fixed]

[pogjack]

Can someone guide me to where/ how to make a macro button. I can get a button made on the live screen, but how do you assign scenes to it.


Thanks,

Right click on the page you want the Macro. Name it and the button will be produced. Then set whichever buttons you want turned on by the macro button. Go to the macro button and right click for a menu. Select "Update Macro" and voila! Macro button now has scenes assigned.

So the page will include my macro button and the scene buttons i want macro'd. And after i update the macro button, then those scenes are auto assugned to the macro. So i make sure i dont have a scene in the page i don't want included in rhe macro then?

Also, after macro is set, can i move the macro button round to different pages.


Thanks for your help

You can have the scenes and Macros on the same page, yes. But I don't usually. Depends on your needs and your programming.
Macros will recall any scene you have active on all pages when you update it so be sure that you only have the scenes up that you want. You can't Macro a macro. But I do use multiple macros to call a stacked complex scene and then create and update a single Macro to call all the activated scenes.
You cant drag and drop a Macro to another page but you can activate the macro you want to move, create a new Macro on the page you want it, update it and in a roundabout way you have moved the Macro.

The macro just "remembers" which scenes are active when the "update" button is pressed. It doesn't matter what page the scenes are on.

Put it where ever you want

Great, thanks guys, That's the part I was missing. Select the scenes (from all pages) you want on, then update macro and it remembers what scenes you want on for the next time.
