Then you simply press F4 repeat the command and keep inserting rows. First, you can insert a single row by using the tools on the ribbon, as already mentioned. If you want to insert multiple rows, you have several choices.

This works marvelously for inserting single rows. In the example below, a VL5 in Lightwright® has a base DMX address of 1/1 and an external dimmer, DMX address 2/11, is imported in to Moving Light Assistant.If you want to insert rows in a worksheet, you probably know that you can do so by displaying the Home tab of the ribbon, click the down-arrow under or to the right of or under the Insert tool (in the Cells group), and then choosing Insert Sheet Rows.

As long as the external dimmer attribute in the Lightwright® data has the purpose ‘External Dimmer’, the import process will insert the DMX address of the external dimmer in to the Rig Data ‘Intensity Address’ field. This is commonly found in some tungsten moving lights where the fixture will have one DMX footprint, with another DMX address for an external dimmer. There is an exception where Lightwright® data includes fixtures requiring external dimmers. Consequently, when Lightwright® data with attributes is imported, the attributes are discarded, and only the ‘root’ fixture is imported.

Moving Light Assistant treats moving lights with mulitiple attributes as single entities, not as a series of individual attributes. Moving Light Assistant uses either of these fields to match with existing items in the Rig Data view. You should include at least the Lightwright ID and Channel fields. You can drag them into the order you wish to export also, though this does not have an effect on the import to Moving Light Assistant.

You may need to check this option if you are exporting on macOS and then importing the text file into Moving Light Assistant running on Windows OS. When checked, Lightwright® will only export items marked as “On Light Plot”. See the section below regarding Lightwright® attributes. For lights with attributes, export only the first row It is up to you how empty data fields are filled. If checked, wattages that are shown as 1.2kw will become 1200. There is not a wattage column in Moving Light Assistant to assign the Lightwright® Wattage column to, but you may assign it to a user column in Moving Light Assistant. Moving Light Assistant expects a channel number to be an integer without any additional characters. It is recommended to have this checkbox checked. It will make it easier to match the imported data fields with the Moving Light Assistant data fields. It does not really matter what this is set to, the default ‘Position’ should be fine. !Be aware that if any row cells in Lightwright® contain a comma, it will cause errors in the import if the ‘Comma Separated’ option is chosen. Generally you want to use ‘Tab Separated’, but you could use ‘Comma Separated’ if you wish. Select if you want to export ‘All worksheet data’ or ‘Only currently selected worksheet rows’. Once copied, the automated actions will appear in the Lightwright® File->Automated menu (you may need to quit and re-launch Lightwright®). The two automated action files must first both be copied to the Automated Actions folder in Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:Lightwright: (macOS) or C:\\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared\Documents\Lightwright\ (Windows OS). The two automated action files must first both be copied to the Automated Actions folder in the Lightwright® 5 installation folder. There are different versions for Lightwright® 5 and Lightwright® 6. The files are named ‘Import MLA.lwa’ and ‘Export MLA.lwa’, and are located in the Lightwright Automated Actions folder in the Moving Light Assistant installation folder. Moving Light Assistant includes two files for automated importing to, and exporting from Lightwright®. One is to manually export the data as a text file where you are able to choose exactly what is exported, the other is to use a Lightwright® automated action which simplifies the process of exporting the required fields Moving Light Assistant needs as a text file. There are two methods to export from Lightwright®.
