To enter the Cue keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

• Press Cue
• Type Cue

Description

	Important:
	Cue is the only object type that accepts numerical IDs as decimal fractions. The ID which is allowed for cues ranges from 0.001 to 9999.999. In all other objects, a dot indicates the ID of a parent or a child object.

Cue is an object type holding a look on stage.

Cues are arranged in sequences and are divided into parts.

For more information see the Cue and Sequence section.

The Cue keyword is an object keyword. Object keywords must have a function keyword in front of them to create a complete command. For more information on how to use the command syntax, see General Syntax Rules.

Cue has a default function called SelFix. This selects all the fixtures that have stored values in the cue.

If a sequence is not specified, then the selected sequence is used in the command.
