Copy Macro by MacroId

by:	Gregory Haynes, August 2018
published:	./.
description:	copy a macro, identifying it by its macroId.
remarks:	Best used together with setup/initialize macros, e.g. Create Workspaces

Original idea/request by Alex del Bondio, see http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5780.

The main problem when attempting to copy items from the show library is that imported items don't have a dedicated handle - the items from an imported show are displayed dynamically. Hence a way needs to be found how to address an item by other means - in the case of macros: their Id.

copy, import, macro, id, macroid

functions

affected properties

control structures

anyspecials?

Code

copyMacroById.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<avolites.macros>
 <macro id="Avolites.Macros.CopyMacroById" name="Copy Macro Snap to Fixtures #1">
    <description></description>
    <sequence>
      <step>Playbacks.Editor.Macros.SetTargetHandle("Avolites.Macros.SnapForward")</step>
      <step>ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum("Handles.OperationMode", "move")</step>
      <step>Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle(Playbacks.Editor.Macros.Target.Handle)</step>
      <step>Handles.CopyDestination("Fixtures", 0)</step>
     </sequence>
  </macro>
</avolites.macros>
