Hi,

are you refering to the pages of the group/colour/position/gobo&beam workspace windows? Then it's quite easy to create macros to toggle all pages simultaneously:
- open and arrange all 4 windows so that you have the page buttons visible
- <Macro>, [Record Macro], <the Macro key you want to record on>
- select page x in the group window
- select page x in the positions window
- select page x in the colours window
- select page x in the gobos&beams window
- <Macro> (to stop recording the Macro)
- repeat this for Macros for more pages

I tested this myself, without a problem. What seems a bit awkward is that if your pages are empty, then only a limited number of pages is displayed. Furthermore, the number of displayed pages depends from the screen resolution, e.g. on a FullHD display I have 6 pages + 'Banks', whereas on the standard Touchwing display, only 4 pages are displayed. However, once the macro is recorded, it correctly switches the pages (I did Macros for up to 6 pages). As soon as you record some palettes on the pages, more pages will appear.

If you would use such a macro frequently, then it wouldn't be hard to write this into the macro library - let me know if I can be of help regarding this.

Hai Sabastian,

Thanks for your reply, I also did the same way, on the touch screen 4 pages change and page numbers show properly,
5th page change, but page number 5 dosnt show, as I have Legend pages as my fixture Models, I have 9 pages change as 9 macros.
Page 5,6,7,8,9, dont show up, but Color, Gobo, Beam, Grope, windows change, cannot identify legend on Page 5,6,7,8,9,

Thanks Fawzie
