Examples
It is possible to clone from fixture types or to fixture types in presets only. For more information see Clone presets.
The cloning option Overwrite removes and replaces original data of the destination by new data.
Clone Fixture to Fixture
1. Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
- Fixture 2 keeps the data of fixture 1 in case fixture 2 should not have any data for specific objects.
2. Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the option Merge:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.
- Fixture 2 keeps its data in case fixture 1 should not have any data for specific objects.
3. Example:
If you clone fixtures 1 and 2 to fixtures in group 10 in sequences 1 through 10:
- This process copies data from fixtures 1 and 2 to fixtures in group 10 within sequence 1 through 10 only.
4.Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the option Overwrite:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.
Clone Fixture to Fixture Type
Cloning fixtures to fixture types clones selective data to global data.
1. Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
- Fixture type 2 keeps the data of fixture 1 in case fixture type 2 should not have any data for specific objects.
2. Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Merge:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.
- Fixture type 2 keeps its data in case fixture 1 should not have any data for specific objects.
3.Example:
If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Overwrite:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.
Clone Fixture Type to Fixture
Cloning fixture types to fixtures clones global data to selective data.
1. Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
- Fixture 2 keeps the data of fixture type 1 in case fixture 2 should not have any data for specific objects.
2. Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture 2 with the option Merge:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture type 1.
- Fixture 2 keeps its data in case fixture type 1 should not have any data for specific objects.
3. Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture 2 with the option Overwrite:
- This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
- Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture type 1.
Clone Fixture Type to Fixture Type
Cloning fixture types to fixture types clones global data to global data.
1. Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture type 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
- Fixture type 2 keeps the data of fixture type 1 in case fixture type 2 should not have any data for specific objects.
2. Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Merge:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.
- Fixture type 2 keeps its data in case fixture type 1 should not have any data for specific objects.
3.Example:
If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Overwrite:
- This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
- Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture type 1.
