How to Use Clone
It is possible:
- To clone in order to copy values from fixture to fixture.
- To clone a selection of fixtures to another selection of fixtures.
- To clone using the keyword Clone or the screen.
Important:
It is not possible to clone values from several fixtures to a single fixture. Cloning is only possible with one set of values.

By default, the cloning is done with low priority. This means that data is preserved wherever the destination fixtures or fixture types already contain data. The data from the source fixtures or fixture types is added to objects such as presets, cues, effects etc. where data does not exist yet.
Hint:
The console automatically clones dependencies, e.g. presets and effects by reference to the cloned sequence whenever cloning with a limited scope. To protect existing data these dependencies are cloned with the default low priority clone option.

Replace
Contrary to clone, replace does not preserve data, i.e. data is overwritten.
