Hi,
simple question, but couldn't find an answer though..
I've got several menus with the same button-arrangements. Now I want to save time of course and copy the buttons (maybe even with the linking) from one menu to another. There's an option for that in Maestro but isn't it possible in Scenarist too? I've searched the forum and the manual, too, but couldn't find anything. Copy/ paste doesn't work either. There's a "special copy" command in the edit drop down in the simulation window, but it's always greyed out and doesn't appear in the manual..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :D

In Scenarist very simple:

Mark the highlight track of the menu in track editor. Then "Edit -> Copy" or "Ctrl + C". ;)

Go to the desired menu you want to apply that highlight. Mark the highlight track again. Paste the before copied data. That's all.

Display color and contrast in the new track remain on the default values, but selection and action color/contrast will have the values of the copied track.

Why didn't you say that, when I began?!? Now I'm ready with doing 111(!) Menus one by one.. I'm f***ing crazy!
No, thanks a lot :)
But what about this "copy special" thing in the simulation window? As I said I couldn't find anything in the manual.. Do you know what it does?
Thanks again,

Could i've guessed, that you would be that fast in creating the menus? :p

I don't have a clue what it does. To be honest, I didn't realize that command until you mentioned it. :D
