How to update/replace a fixture (profile) without losing the programming

Former Member

How can I replace / "update" a fixture in the setup screen without losing the programming?

For example I have a given show with a lot of scenes etc. However, for example I dedect an error within a fixture's profile. When I fix this issue in the profile and afterwords overwrite the file in the right directory (same file name etc.) it will not be automatically updated in my show. I have to delete the given fixture instead, have to close and reopen myDMX for getting the new (updated) profile available in the show. But doing this, my programming is lost.

So, how can I substitute a fixture in the setup directly by a fixture profile out of the ScanLibrary without losing the programming behind?

Hi Andi, as of right now there is no way to do this in the program. but the way you describe, yes you will lose programming data if you do it that way.

This is why we encourage all users to test their profiles before you begin programming.

I'll look into it. Thanks!

But, if you 'll find a solution in the next Version, it whould be great. Because further reasons are, e.g., an improvement of a profile, like you adding a further mode, or the fixture itself was updated by a new firmware with exteded functionality, or you improve the icons of a fixture a.s.o.
Thanks!
