Parameter and Effect flags[edit]

These flags are central to Artist operation and programming.

	As you adjust any fixture parameters in the Fixture Control window, a flag is set to indicate the change. This flag also stops any cue data from reaching the fixture parameter. Thus you can override cues manually. Whenever you use any program data saving function the data selected for storing are those parameters with the Parameter Flag set.
	If an effect or a chase is running the Effect flag is set and has the function as the Parameter flag.
	This flag shows that both Parameter and Effect flags are set.

Mask Flags[edit]

These flags apply to effects and chases. You can set and clear these flags using the right-click context menu or holding the Shift key (for effect mask) or the Control key (for chase mask) while clicking on the fixture.

	This flag is displayed when a fixture is excluded from a chase. Fixtures marked with this flag are masked from the parameter chase.
	This flag is displayed when a fixture is excluded from an effect. Fixtures marked with this flag are masked from the parameter effect.

Flip Flags[edit]

These flags are only displayed if either a parameter or an effect flag is showing in a mirror or yoke parameter. They indicate that the X, the Y or both X and Y axis' are flipped for the active effect.

\|\| This flag indicates the x-axis of the position parameter (mirror or yoke) is inverted for the effect.
\|\| This flag indicates the y-axis of the position parameter (mirror or yoke) is inverted for the effect.
\|\| This flag indicates that both the x and y axis of the position parameter (mirror or yoke) are inverted for the effect.
