For users it looks easy, but not for software coders.
Trying to explain a bit.
Section "Steps" has to ask section "Fixtures": "please tell me the dmx address of the fixture with the ID 'xxxxxxxxx'".
Each time you move a fixture to another dmx address, the section "Fixtures" must send the message to the section "Steps", "caution, the dmx address of fixture ID 'xxxxxxxxx' has changed ; it is now xxx".
Again, section "Steps" knows only ID's for fixtures.
With such messages exchanges, many new possible issues.
The real location to see the dmx addresses is the dmx bargraph, because the dmx addresses are fixed here.
The best will be to improve the dmx bargraph by showing more details.
To select a fixture, we just click on its thumbnail in 2DView, we do not enter its dmx address.
