Suggestion for level manager...

[gti_jay]

Just a thought;

 

When I work with the level manager, there is one thing I really miss...The ability to "Multi-edit"...

 

That is, I would REALLY,Really,really like to be able to edit MANY layer descriptions at once...

 

Am I asking too much? I don't know.

 

Just to further clarify, I want to select all 30 layers that containg my fixture geometry, and type "FIXTURE" in the level set box, and have it fill in ALL 30 places at once.

From what I've been reading, you can save out your levels to a CSV file and modify it in MS Excel, then import it back in.

 

It's a right click option in the level manager: get/save named levels.

 

Make a back up first and try it.

Thanks! I'm gonna try that right now...

My only question is, If you don't name them first in McamX...How will you know what they are in Excel???

 

This is where multi editing would be nice...

gti_jay,

 

You don't have to name then first. Export a single named level, then open it with excel.

 

Number the first few rows 1 - 5 in excel then drag them down and it will number the rows sequentially. In the names column, I named them "." Again do the first few the same and drag and drop them down to the last numbered column and they will all rename. Save the file

 

Now you can import your named levels with generic names and just rename as you need.
