Editing Artist Help:Importing Scenes and Cues

=== Importing Cues and Scenes ===

Currently, the software allows Cues and Scene files to be imported into a Workspace from another. It is important that the source and destination Workspaces have the same Fixtures defined. At present no error checking is made and if any error occurs during this process the system will throw an exception.  Prior to either of these operations, Artist will create a backup of your Workspace to the backup directory.

If you are planning to import both Cues and Scene from another Workspace, you should import the Scenes first and then the Cues.

=== To Import a Scene file ===

* Select the Scenes tab in the Client area 
* from the main menu select File/Import Scenes. The standard Windows file dialog will open. 
* select the Scene file to import. 
* click Open. 

=== To Import a Cue file ===

* Select the Cues tab in the Client area 
* from the main menu select File/Import Cues. The standard Windows file dialog will open. 
* select the Cue file to import. 
* click Open. 

Should unexpected results occur, restore your backup files and try again. 

This is not a recommended process. Importing a whole other workspace a much saver process. See Import Workspace
