Changing DMX Addresses for fixtures [fixed]
Posted: 23 April 2012, 03:12
Here is my situation. I had some older fixtures that I recently sold. In an effort to keep my fixture list clean and rearrange some of the other fixtures and incorporate some new ones in the mix; I reassigned DMX addresses to a number of the fixtures. I saved them. I changed the fixture addresses on the units. I assumed that the scenes would follow the fixtures to the new DMX address. Much to my suprise that did not happen. The file is not attached to the fixture but to the DMX address at which it was created. So now essentially every scene of the hundreds that I have created are now unusable. Is there a way in the program maybe when the file is saved in editor to be able to attach it to the fixture rather than to a particular DMX starting address? That would allow for one to be able to rearrange or change a particular Fixture to a different address without having to rewrite all of the associated scenes for that fixture. What are the thoughts from the creators of the program? Is there a particular reason that the data is attached to the DMX address rahter than the fixture?
