Am i missing something ??

Today i made some MH to some spot lighting of the band. The fixtures were part of a previously created playback cue with the shape only. Spot light play back contains position, dimmer, color and beam data. I set priority of it to very high and changed the priority in old shape cue to low. Now, when i use a spot light cue, fixtures in it steel doing the movement of low priority shape cue! I try to work around it and edited the low priority shape and removed the fixtures used for spot lighting. View, then blue button of cue, menu open up on screen, option of cue view and shape. open a cue view , highlight the fixtures and on console screen conform the removal of fixtures. All process looks ok. How ever when u run the cue removed fixtures steel moving and revision of the cue shows deleted fixtures, like before editing.
Am i missing something ??

I guess you're better off if you put a block shape into your high priority spotligh cue - in that case, you do not need to twiggle around with removing fixtures from shapes:
- Clear
- Include the spotlight cue
- shape generator, create shape, select P Block Shape
- record cue, merge
This should do the trick for you.



From what you described, I'd say you cannot remove fixtures from shapes only in cue view, without including the cue. Hence, you should do:
- Clear
- include the low priority shape cue
- edit the shape, remove the fixtures
- record the cue, replace

Just to clarify, I believe the software is functioning as designed although there is definitely room for improvement regarding removing fixtures from shapes in cues:

When you use [Remove Fixtures] from cue view it only removes all the attribute values. Normally the fixture would disappear completely but when there is a shape it will remain. However, there may be an argument to say it should remove the shape too.
Alternatively it might be an idea to have a 'Remove (selected) Fixtures' context button from Shape Fixture View, which could work in a similar way to the 'Add (selected) Fixtures' button.
Finally I think OFF should work with the attributes FX mask (ie. select fixtures, OFF, include FX mask, [Attributes Off ...], merge into cue). As far as I am aware this is not possible at the moment.
