Reply to "Losing my light positions in visualizer."

Paul & Chris, I may have an answer for you on this.

I assume that you are using the 'duplicate' option for your multiple lights as I think MyDMX will only allow a single occurance of a fixture from the select list.

I had the same issue when building my new stage set in the visualiser. Every time I reloaded, the duplicates would disappear.

I realised that this was due to the auto-update being set within the visualiser. Everytime it was restarted, it would re-read the profile list within MyDMX and remove the duplicates.

To resolve this problem, you need to disable the Auto Patching.

Load the Visualiser and your required set. Change to Construction Mode.

In the lower section, left side, click on the mini Moving Head icon (Add Fixture(s)).

In the window which appears, remove the tick from the "Get the patch automatically from the controller" option.

Accept the change.

Now, add in you duplicate items and save the stage set.

Now reload the Visualiser and set and you duplicates should be still in place.

This does mean that you will need to manually add any new fixtures to the set but this is less of a problem than adding back your duplicates every time you want to work on the set.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
