Editing Artist Help:Adding Scene/Cue (section)

=== As a Command ===

This function adds a System Command to a parent Step, Scene or Cue in order to activate a Scene or a Cue. By default this System command is triggered when the parent is activated and is unaffected when the parent is deactivated. Another difference from linking is that the parent does not set the Scene or Cue settings, these remain default.

An options dialog opens allowing you to alter the default system command attributes.

Activating a scene from a system command in this way set the flags of the contained fixture parameters. This can be useful for creating an override to running cues. See Cue Override.
