Thanks for the input Dave.? I do think automation will accomplish what I'm after, though I have yet to implement it.
We had a session yesterday where I ran through the lineup in advance in simulator mode and printed out all the manifests, then reset the layout to the pre-session state for the actual session.? During the session itself, I did not manage to keep up with the real-time builds very well (without automation) but since we had the paperwork in advance, it was not much of an issue.? I think I see how to get where I want to go though, and it seems like a fun journey.? :)
