Re: user libraries are not shown in patch fixtures

I can't immediately think of a reason although a fault with one or more might cause this. Log viewer might provide some clues. Feel free to send me all the personalities and I will be happy to take a look. nick <dot> morris <at> avolites <dot> com.

Re: Visualizer Setting

You can adjust the orientation of selected fixtures in the integrated Capture Visualiser by toggling the wheel mode on softkey G to 'Wheels=Visualiser' which will connect the wheels to visualiser properties. Position and orientation can be found on the position bank (pressing the position attribute ...

Re: Problem Copy Fixtures, Group and Playback

For anyone reading this the reason that seemingly unrelated fixtures were being added to groups was due to those groups being special 'type' groups that are automatically created when a fixture is patched (the 'All xxx' groups). While the group in question no longer contained any of the original fix...

Re: Problem Copy Fixtures, Group and Playback

If by 'group 3' you mean the 'Aura Group 3' and that, when copying a dimmer that is not contained in that group, the new dimmer appears in that group then that is strange. I cannot reproduce this. If I patch those fixtures, create three groups and then copy one of the dimmers the new dimmer appears ...

Re: cue lists and chaser trouble Capture.

Given it's intensity (dimmers), assuming the playback fader is raised perhaps there is something mastering it (ie. grand master)? Also you mention cue list and chaser in the subject. If you are recording a cue list you will need to press go to advance each step (including the first) after firing the...

Have you pressed Clear after you have finished recording?

Re: cue lists and chaser trouble Capture.

From your description this sounds like a programming issue rather than anything to do with the visualisation. Does it work in the integrated Capture Visualiser?

Re: Keep function value when attribute condition changes?

The DMX values are a 32 bit signed integer. To support I guess it either needs to be changed to an unsigned 32 bit integer or a long. In reality though I'm not sure if there is much call for it. It's hard to conceive of the need for 32 bit accuracy but maybe. I did look at the personality linked and...

Re: Recorded lights changing settings when playback lowered

If this is happening with all playbacks and it occurs when the playback is killed (ie. when it reaches zero as opposed to proportional to the fader level) then it sounds like you have the global release mask set to include the colour and position groups (and possibly others) in addition to Release T...

Re: Keep function value when attribute condition changes?

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment, although I do appreciate where it would be useful. You can specify functions and use the function index property to make associations, for example in more recent factory personalities I set the index and middle 'no spin' of gobo rotate controls of re...

Re: Unable to edit a groups fixture order when group consists of cells

Apologies. You're right. I was relying on the visualiser and evidently I had assumed the default orientation of the fixture I was using had cell 1 on stage right. Which it didn't. So your example does indeed work just fine. Rookie error. Sorry for any confusion! Might also explain some of the diffic...

Re: Unable to edit a groups fixture order when group consists of cells

The example does apply to the cells (1.1 thru 4.2 and 8.2 thru 5.1 are selecting the cells not the master). However, unfortunately I don't think it achieves the effect you want. With the fade out from center the order looks like this (where 'o' represents on and 'x' is off): oo oo oo xo ox oo oo oo ...

Re: Unable to edit a groups fixture order when group consists of cells

I've spent some time on this and have managed to get it working the way I expected it to however I encountered some inconsistencies which might be compounding the problem. My theory was to create a group of cells (as you were) and adjust the layout so that the symmetrical pairs are stacked in the sa...

Re: Problem Copy Fixtures, Group and Playback

I have made a quick test and could not reproduce this. I wonder if you might be able to provide some more detailed steps to repeat this? For example: New show Patch 1x <fixture 1 details> Patch 1x <fixture 2 details> Create group of fixture 1 (group 1) Create group of fixture 2 (group 2) Select grou...
