6.3.8 Copying Parameter Settings
You can copy the parameter values of one fixture to another.
Important: If you copy parameter settings between fixtures of different types, only those
parameters that the fixtures have in common will be copied.
Using the Command Line
To copy from the current selection:
Cop y 8 Ente r : copies the parameters of the current selection to fixture 8.
To copy from specified fixtures:
Fixture 1 Th ru 4 Copy 8 Thru 1 1 , Enter : copies the parameter settings of
Fixtures 1-4 to 8-11.
To copy parameter values from the fixtures of one group to the fixtures of another group
within an editor:
Group 1 Copy Fixture Grou p 2 Enter : copies the parameter values of the fixtures
in group 1 to the fixtures in group 2.
You can add parameter, location and destination masks to any copy command:
1 Thru 4 In tensity Copy L ist 3 Cue 1 Fixture 8 Thru 1 1 , Enter : copies the
intensities of fixtures 1 to 4 in the current selection to fixtures 8 to 11 in cue 1 of cuelist
3.
You can use Copy to reverse the order of values. For example, if fixture 1 is at 10%, fixture 2
at 20%, and fixture 3 is at 30%:
1 Thru 3 Copy 3 Thru 1 Enter : the fixtures will now be at 30%, 20% and 10%
respectively.
Tip: When you press the Copy key, the words ‘Copy to’ appear on the command line. This
is a useful reminder of the syntax of the copy command.
