-==== affected properties ====
+> The inhibit is just a quick way of dousing a lamp or lamps and then reinstating them without affecting anything in the programmer or within any cues. So I may be running an effect on some lamps and I just need to kill it for a second and then turn it back on without messing about with the programmer or cues.

-==== control structures ====
+The 'without messing with the programmer' part isn't possible: you need to select the fixtures which you want to inhibit before calling the macro -- and selecting fixtures brings them into the programmer. There is no way to avoid this.

+The first macro ''Inhibit Selected Fixtures'' sets the currently selected fixtures' dimmer at 0% and freezes them:
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.IncrementDimmer'' sets the dimmer at 0
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Selection.GetSelectedHandles("Windows.PatchView.Handles")'' puts the current selection into a property
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Patch.FreezeFixtures(Windows.PatchView.Handles, True)'' freezes the fixtures which are in this property
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.ClearAll(false, false)'' clears the programmer
+The second macro ''Uninhibit Selected Fixtures'' unfreezes the currently selected fixtures:
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Selection.GetSelectedHandles("Windows.PatchView.Handles")'' puts the current selection into a property
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Patch.FreezeFixtures(Windows.PatchView.Handles, False)'' unfreezes the fixtures which are in this property
+  * ''Programmer.Editor.ClearAll(false, false)'' clears the programmer
 ===== How to use it =====
   - [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
+  - in order to inhibit fixtures select them and fire the first macro
-tbd
+  - in order to uninhibit fixtures select them and fire the second macro
