+ Fixture
Opens the add fixture dialogue. Use this to add single fixtures to a patch.
| Note: Patching an entire systems is faster with auto patch. |
The first step to adding a fixture is to select a target pin. What pin is selected defines which personalities may be patched to it.
See the manual discussion of the Pin Tree for more information on Pin Classes.
By default, only Layers, Mixes, Viewports and the timeline will have personalities defined for them. Other personalities may be imported or created with the personality editor.
To add a fixture:
- Select the target pin (Mix1/Layer1 for example)
- Choose the correct personality to use from the drop down list
- Choose the start channel
- Press OK to patch.
