Hello,
Here I thought that I was getting a handle on Scenes and now I find out that I really do not know what I thought that I knew! I must admit, I still find "Partial" scene changes confusing to say the least. I hope that the following does not make this post go too far "south", but the following points may help if clarified.
Note: The following is from the SAC Help file for V3.1:
New Button
"You can see and adjust these options by [Right-Clicking] on a scene in the Scene View window also. Once in the dialog you can click OK or use the Enter key to exit and save the changes or click Cancel or use the ESC key to exit and cancel any changes."
Q: I am not at all sure what the difference is here between [Right-Clicking] on a scene and selecting the Updt button?
"If you press the [Ctrl-Key] when closing the Scene Properties Dialog, the selected partial chans will not be cleared, making it easy to create more scenes for the same partial chans back to back. You can then clear the selections afterward by [Right-Clicking] in the mixer chan selection zone at the top of any mixer view."
Q: Never "saw" this one....but am not too sure what to do with it?
Updt Button
"[Left-Clicking] the Updt button allows you to update an existing Scene. The selected Scene is overwritten with the current state of all 25 mixers. You will be asked whether you want to update the partial channel info or not. If you elect to do so, the current selected chans will be used to change the original channel selection. You will still have the option inside the Properties Dialog window to alter the partial channel info again before saving the the updated properties."
Note: Still having difficulty in understanding this one...so I have simply avoided using it?
Q: Where is this "option" inside the Properties Dialog window?
Changing Scene Properties
"The next top option, Select Partial Chans, if lighted, will select the channels that are active into a temporary group when the scene is recalled, thereby allowing you to create unlimited special group combinations with scene recalls that then allow you to control multiple selected channels of controls using any one channel as the master."
Note: As with the Updt Button, I still have difficulty in understanding this one...so I have simply avoided using it?
What may help is a few simple tutorials on just how these "things" actually "work".
