Hi all,

the first production of the season is over and I'm finishing my paperwork, now I#am having some issues in plotcreation in the latest version of Argo. I'm wondering if it is a bug or feature ;-) that I can't move the Channelnumber and the DMX-Address-Field in paperview, because I can't select them alone, so now their position is fixed below the symbol. Another thing is that you can assign a filter only in a 3D-view and not in Paperview anymore, that's ok but you always have to search for the lamp you want the filter changed in a 3D-window, in previous versions you could change the filter in the paperview-window for example, that was much faster than how it is now.

I'm sure that are minor bugfixes for you but would make our live much easier.

Thank you for your hard and outstanding work in this software.

All the best Marco

Hi,

Annotations (like a fixture's channel and DMX address) can only be moved in Paper mode if you have paper adjustments enabled (the on/off switch in the top right of the navigator). You can select an annotation by its own by double clicking on it or using the "Select only.. Annotations" selection shortcut. You should still be able to drag and drop filters on fixtures in a view in Paper mode though - does this not work for you?

Hey Lars thanks for your quick response,

I was able to narrow down the problem, I think it has something to do with my project-file, because when I open an older file it works just fine, when I create a new project it works fine too, but in my last project I'm not able to doubleclick or drag filters in paperview-mode. could it be that somethin in my project blocks it, a hidden object, layer or something like this or is there a setting which could be turned off accidentelly?

All the best Marco

For anyone following this, we have confirmed it a bug that one cannot drag and drop anything onto an item in Paper mode if it has a paper position adjustment. Obviously we're working on a fix.
