Copying a Fixture
It is possible to copy an existing fixture and then edit its parameters. In the fixture editor, there is a
{Copy} button. Pressing {Copy} when a library fixture is selected will create a copy of that fixture
and will assign it a new name. This new fixture can then be edited.
Merging Custom Fixtures into a New Show File
Custom fixtures are saved with your show file and not in the fixture library. If you want to use custom
fixtures in a different show file, you will need to use the advanced merge function while in the new
show file.
For more information, see Partial Patch Merging, page 38
Importing a Custom Fixture
You can import custom fixtures from an ASCII show file, see Importing Show Files, page 40 .
