As some of you know, you can click on the parameter dials box and hit ctrl-c or select edit/copy from the menu and copy the dial settings. You can then paste these dial setting into another selected item. But did you know the information copied is just text info which can be pasted into a text file. Here's a ctrl-c copy of the parameter dials for a light MYLIGHT3 0 shadowStrength Spline 1.0000 41 MYLIGHT3 0 depthMapSize Spline 256.0000 40 MYLIGHT3 0 xrot Spline -37.9151 1 MYLIGHT3 0 yrot Spline -58.0635 2 MYLIGHT3 0 zrot Spline 21.5845 3 MYLIGHT3 0 scale Spline 0.5500 10 MYLIGHT3 0 KdRed Spline 0.4000 23 MYLIGHT3 0 KdGreen Spline 0.4000 24 MYLIGHT3 0 KdBlue Spline 0.4000 25 MYLIGHT3 0 KdIntensity Spline 1.0000 29 MYLIGHT3 0 Preview_Light_0_R Spline 0.4000 102 MYLIGHT3 0 Preview_Light_0_G Spline 0.4000 102 MYLIGHT3 0 Preview_Light_0_B Spline 0.4000 102 MYLIGHT3 0 Preview_Light_1 Spline 1.0000 102 Now what's so cool about that? Well imagine vendors wishing to sell dial settings. All they have to do is sell a text file with the settings in them. Then the buyer simply selects the text from the text file, copies and pastes it right into the parameter dial box. Of course a pose file would also do this so it maybe a moot point. It does not appear to work with the material node copy however. Hoepfully this might be useful to someone.
