Answer


Sample designs are available to download through Q-SYS library (and previously, via Asset Manager in Q-SYS Designer) with the following steps:

Download using Q-SYS Library

  1. Access Q-SYS library (https://library.qsys.com/)
  2. Find the desired Sample Design and add it you your library
  3. Open Designer
  4. Open “Asset Installer” and install the sample file from Q-SYS onto your machine.

Once the file is downloaded to your machine… 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Click Open Sample Design.
  3. Choose your downloaded sample design to open.

    Note

    Sample Designs may be stored in the directory specific to the version used to download it 

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer <version #>

    If you are trying to access a file downloaded with a previous Designer version (or from Asset Manager even), you may need to alter the folder that is initially opened. For example, a sample downloaded using Asset Manager in version 8.4 will be stored in the following folder:

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer 8.4

     

Some sample files are included as part of a plugin package so in some cases, the sample design file may be included along with the plugin files. If the file is not visible using the above try the following…

  1. Open Designer.
  2. Go to the File menu.
  3. Click Open.
  4. Navigate to Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer\Assets\Q-SYS Library.
  5. Locate the folder of the plugin that the sample file is associated with and open it.
  6. Within that plugin folder, open the “contents" folder. Any sample files will be shown in the file list.
  7. Select the file required (there could be more than one to choose from) and click the Open button.
