Simple question about creating scenes

[EBDS]

Hi all. I have what I hope is a simple question. I want to be able to manually position moving head lights (pan/tilt) and set colors, etc and then take a snapshot of that setup as a scene. I want to create automations for my moving head lights rather than using the wizard. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Can someone explain to me how I can use the full set of sliders, set everything up in my show, and then capture that setup as a scene?

Thanks,
Rob

Use the DMX Dump button
It's in the manual:

Perfect. Thanks much!

So I tried using the Dump DMX for the first time tonight and it didn't work. I am quite sure I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what. I just set things up the way I wanted them with 4 fixtures. Then I clicked the button for the process. I types a scene name, selected my 4 fixtures and clicked OK. When I looked in the scene that was created it did not contain any fixtures.

Help please? Thanks.

Works perfectly here.

Which version of QLC+ are you using ?

Can you describe the exact steps you tried ?

I am using 4.8.5 on Windows 8.1

I opened my show. I clicked to make the show active (green arrow). I then went to the simple desk and adjusted all the channels I wanted to adjust. Then I just clicked the Dump DMX to function button, selected my fixtures and hit OK.

OK figured out what is going on. I realized there is a difference between having a black square in a channel selection box and having a black check mark. With a black square you have to manually select channels. I thought having that meant all the channels in the fixture were included. But I learned that to have all the channels in the fixture included I have to click the fixture selection box twice until the check mark appears. That's why I wasn't getting any fixtures in my scene.
