To set a custom plug-in map as the default plug-in

Hiding Default Plug-in Map Pages
When you create a custom plug-in map, its pa-
rameters are arranged in pages that correspond
to the groups of controls that appear on a con-
trol surface.
When you page through the controls for a plug-
in on a control surface, the pages for custom
plug-in maps appear first, and the pages for the
Factory Default map appear after the custom
pages.
You can hide the Factory Default pages of a
plug-in, so that only the custom pages appear
on the control surface. This applies to all in-
stances of the plug-in.
To hide the Factory Default pages of a plug-in map:
1 Open the plug-in whose default plug-in map
pages you want to hide.
2 From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose
Hide Factory Default Pages.
Exporting and Importing Plug-in Maps
Plug-in maps can be exported as .pim files for use
on other Pro Tools systems.
When exporting plug-in maps, you can choose
to save individual map files for each plug-in, or
a single map file containing all the plug-in maps
for the system.
To export an individual plug-in map:
1 Open the plug-in whose map you want to ex-
port.
2 Choose the map you want to export from the
Map Presets pop-up menu.
3 From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose
Export Current Plug-in Map.
4 Choose a location for the map file.
5 Click Save.
To export all plug-in maps in the system to a single
map file:
1 Open any plug-in in the session.
2 From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose
Export All Plug-in Maps.
3 Choose a location for the map file.
4 Click Save.
To import a map file:
1 Open the plug-in where you want to import a
plug-in map.
2 From the Map Options pop-up menu, choose
Import Plug-in Maps From File.
3 Locate the plug-in map (.pim) file you want to
import.
4 Click Open.
On D-Control and D-Command systems,
when you export all plug-in maps, you are
also exporting Custom Fader Plug-in map-
ping to the same file. For more information,
