[ANSWERED] can you auto populate new scenes?

[thatmattrogers]

So, I'm building a patch which will start from the same thing in every scene.

is it possible to setup an isadora project so that it automatically populates each new scene with a couple of user actors.
Just for convenience really.

I copy a scene and duplicate it over and over again if I want to do that. Cmd/Ctl-D is really fast!

@citizenjoe

that's a good suggestion but still imperfect, if you're adding into a project that has complicated patches you're left deleting a lot of unwanted stuff.

Imperfect yes, but I assumed duplicating your "base" scene and building from there.

Cheers,

Hi,

 The method that possibly comes closest to the concept of a 'code snippet' is a Macro. You can package your consistent patch elements into a Macro and save to assign in a Global Toolbox or Document Toolbox. It will then appear in the Tools panel and available to drop into a new scene.

 This is what I do as well. 

When building a show I create a "TEMPLATE" scene with everything I might need in it, then duplicate it for each Isadora Scene I need to make.
