Design Queue

DesignShop allows you to place designs in a queue. Placing them in this queue does not load them on a machine. However, placing a design in the queue gives you quick access to that design when you are ready to load it. When you are in the Design View window, you can place a design in the Design Queue by choosing File->Machine->Queue Current Design or File->Machine->Queue All Open Designs or File->Machine->Queue Selection. Queue Current Design sends the current design to the queue of the machine. Queue All Open Designs sends each design that is open to the machine's queue. Queue Selection brings up a File Open dialog. In this dialog, you hold down the Control key and click on the designs you want to be sent to the queue.

If you have more than one group of AMAYAs connected to your computer, you will be able to select the group on which you want to queue the design. Select the cluster on which you want to queue the design and click OK.

You can also place jobs in the Design Queue using pending folders. Each cluster in your configuration has its own pending folder in the AMAYA install directory. (An example path for this pending folder would be: AMAYA Install Directory\Jobs\Cluster1\Pending.) You can add jobs to a cluster’s Design Queue by copying and pasting design files into the cluster’s pending folder. You can also save designs directly by going to File->Save As. When you do this, the jobs will automatically appear in the Design Queue. (You can also delete a design from a Pending folder, and that design will be removed from the cluster’s queue.)
