Is it possible to patch an identical group of fixtures (say 6 moving heads) used as part of a previous show, into a new show, and copy saved playbacks (which were just for those fixtures) from the old show to the new one? If so, do they have to have the same DMX addresses as before?

Also, can I change the default behaviour of fixtures in the following scenario? For example: When selecting an RGBAWU hex led fixture and opening attribute editor, by default RGB are always at 255 and AWU are 0.
This results in a RGB "white" if I turn intensity up. Can I change this so that by default, all are at 0 except for true white at 255 or any other combinations of the 6 colour cells? The same is true for "locate" and I would prefer the white cell to illuminate rather than RGB all at 255.

Appreciate all the help.

You can use import to bring in fixtures and associated playbacks from other shows. You can change DMX addresses for any fixture at any time.

To change locate values place preferred values in the programmer, record, locate, locate.

for the second question:
you will need to change the personality file's standard values for that one but it can be done.
