Artist Help:Importing Fixtures

Importing Fixtures

You can import the fixtures defined in another workspace. You may want to do this if you currently have two computers each running a separate part of the show and you want to merge them into one. This will not import the scenes or cue from the other workspace. The imported fixture will be assigned new DMX lines which you can alter after importing.

Before the import process is carried out, Artist will backup your existing Workspace to the backup directory. If there are unexpected results from the import process, you can retrieve your previous workspace.

To Import a Fixtures

select Fixture in the client area

from the main menu select, File/Import Fixtures

select the fixtures file from the windows file dialog. The fixtures file will have the same name as the Workspace that uses it.

Upon completion, you should see that new fixture groups have been defined. Spend some time ensuring that the results are what you expected before continuing programming.
