Import from...

You can import part of any play into your current play, if you want to reuse
color palettes, presets, groups or if you want to reload a previous version of
an object such as a preset from an earlier version of the same play.

You can also import lists from Excel, LightWright or WYSIWYG. See

Channel Database - Import Text File Wizard

.

This chapter describes the import functions. Parts about drag and drop are referred to the chapter about
Drag and Drop. See

Drag and Drop

.

Import from other lighting systems
If you are importing a play, or parts of a play from a different lighting system see exceptions and notes
in this chapter.

1. Open the play - any play in Standard ASCII Light Cues format (name.asc or name.alq) can

be opened directly.

2. Save the play as a normal Cobalt play.
3. Use this import Organizer to import parts of these plays.

CAUTION
We strongly advise you to save your Play before using the Import Organizer,
since it can alter your Play greatly.
