LPS' Attribute Locking feature allows users to mark specific attributes of a light as locked.
An attribute which has been marked as locked cannot be changed. This can be very useful in a
repertory situation where incoming designers are only allowed to modify certain aspects of the
lightplot.
For example, the position, unit number and dimmer attributes of a light might be locked. This would
allow a designer to modify the unit's channel, color, template and purpose, but not move, replace or
repatch lights.
The locking mechanism only pertains to units that are included in the lightplot at the time the lock
is applied. Any unit added afterwards is not subject to the lock restrictions. This allows for a
designer to maintain full control over additionally added units. By default the design window displays
locked attributes in red, to provide easy identification as to which attributes cannot be modified.
The locking and unlocking of attributes is done by clicking the appropriate radio button in the
Locking dialog. This is displayed by selecting Locking from the Lightplot menu.
