Hi,
I want to use the pixel mapper to layout and program 11 sunstrips for next show. I've patched the fixtures as 110 separate dimmers.
Now to arrange the layout...the manual says [Edit times] > select the group > [Edit layout] the layout editor window will open...it doesn't. All I can see is the layout editor options (arrange, crop grid, arrange fixtures....etc). If I press Arrange Fixtures the options appear on the softkeys - I want to use the window so I can see what I'm doing as I'm new to this!
What am I doing wrong?
Using Titan 10.1
Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window

Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
Testing in Titan 10.1 this works for me.
There are other routes to opening the layout editor (ie. [Shapes and Effects]/[Pixel Mapper]/[Edit Group Layout]) but I suspect that the problem is the window is opening on a display you can't see or don't have connected.
After opening try going to VIEW/OPEN [Window Options]/[Move Screen] (if it is not already selected go to VIEW/OPEN [Window Options]/[Select Window]/[Layout Editor Window] first).
Hopefully that will bring it into view. Note that you can disable external displays via SYSTEM/Display Setup.

Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
Assuming you fix the issue you are having opening the window, you may find it easier to patch the Sunstrip Active CH:10 mode as it will group the 10 dimmers for each fixture together when you are arranging them.
Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
It was my extended screen setup hiding the windows, sorry!
But, I'm finding v10.1 very slow and laggy...before I do any proper work for the show, I'm considering going back to v9.1!

Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
The most common cause of slowness in V10.1 is running on a system without an SSD. V10 onward requires an SSD as it saves everything you do as you go along for undo.
Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
My system does have an SSD!
Can you limit how much is saved for undo? Or disable undo completely?
I've re-installed 9.1 and it's flying along! Would be nice to have to v10/10.1 feature but not if it won't run properly!

Any answer on whether you can limit or disable the undo memory?

This isn't normal. What console is it or, if it's a PC, what are the specs?
Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
It's a Microsoft Surface Book - i7 2.6ghz, 16gb ram, Windows 10 Pro, 476gb SSD with 170gb free space
Re: Pixel mapper - can't access layout editor window
Nic...any further update on this? My laptop spec is over the minimum...any idea why Titan 10.1 gets so slow,and laggy?
Thanks, Nige
