Artist Help:New Workspaces

From ShowCAD Wiki

The workspace is a collection of files that contain all the program information for the show you are about to create. It also saves the Interface Manager and Input Output Patch. Four main files make up the workspace. They are,

Core Files

Workspace Contains reference to the other workspace files and information about the user interface setup .wsp
Fixtures Contain the definition of all your fixtures, Interface Manager and Input Output Patch .fix
Scenes Contain all your programmed Scenes .scn
Cue Lists Contains all your programmed show Cues .clt
