Patch 129
Editing Fixtures
You can view and edit existing fixtures in the Fixture Editor. Edited fixtures will display with an
"*" beside their name.
With the fixture selected, you can change the name by pressing [Label] or tapping on the
fixture. You can press [Label] twice to clear the name. The virtual keyboard will open in the CIA.
The fixture's name as it is in the library will still display by the new name.
Note: Using [Update Profile] will remove any edits made to existing fixtures. Fixtures
that have been copied will retain any edits. See Copying a Fixture (below)
Copying a Fixture
It is possible to copy an existing fixture and edit its parameters. In the fixture editor, there is a
{Copy} button. Pressing {Copy} when a library fixture is selected will create a copy of that fixture
and will assign it a new name.
Merging Custom Fixtures into a New Show File
Custom fixtures are saved with your show file and not in the fixture library. If you want to use
custom fixtures in a different show file, you will need to use the advanced merge function while
in the new show file.

Partial Patch Merging (on page74)
Importing a Custom Fixture
You can import custom fixtures from an ASCII show file, see
