Transfer V5 Show to V6 [fixed]

[T&JSoundProductions]

I have lots of shows built in my old V5 software and I was wondering if and how I can transfer those shows to the new V6 software. I have both XP (32 Bit) and Windows 7 (64 Bit) machines. We have been slowly migrating everything over, but wanted to keep at lease one older setup for my older interface unit. We like keeping the same number setup in fixtures for all over our light shows, so no matter how big or small of a show, they all will work with little or no effort! Helps when you have a small club where all lights are not nessary or when they simply don't want to pay for the full service.
We also tried changing the fixture settings by simply changing the order of all the fixtures but that didn't work! Seems once a channel is assigned to a fixture it will allways control that same feature for the same light. I must be doing something wrong because I would Thing you could change the order by resignment in fixture.

Just export the light shows then import them in to the V6 software.

What older interface do you have?

What do you mean?

I got it all figured out! I used the converter to move the files to the other location where V6 pulls them from. Worked great! I found this info after I posted this topic.

The last issue was: Can I move a fixture to a different DMX address in fixtures and change it for all the scenes.
Example: if a fixture is assigned to 50 and I want to change it to 100 can I do this in setup or fixtures?
Will this change all of my scenes with in that show.
In other words, if Chanel 50 is Pan for a mirror will changing the DMX address change the Pan to 100 for the same mirror has long as I change the fixture setting? Will it change all scenes within that show globally?

It does not work like this.
Do not change anything in Setup (this will not upgrade the scenes).
Just use ControlBoard > Patch for dmx and midi > "dmx output" tab, and add all the dmx channels you want to patch to another dmx address.

For checking, in ControlBoard > Dmx levels, the patched channels have a different color.
