• To clone data from fixtures 1 and 2 to fixtures in group 10 within sequence 1 thru 10C only, type:

• To clone all objects within data pool 1 from fixtures 1 thru 12 to fixtures 101 thru 112, type:

User name[Fixture]>Clone Fixture 1 Thru 12 At Fixture 101 Thru 112 If DataPool 1

For more information on data pools, see the Data Pools.

 

• To clone the pan attribute of fixture 1 to the tilt attribute of fixture 2, type:

User name[Fixture]>Clone Fixture 1 Attribute "Pan" At Fixture 2 Attribute "Tilt"

	Hint:
	When cloning presets and cue data, all presets referenced by the destination objects are automatically cloned in addition.

Hint:

The syntax: Clone [Source_Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number] At [Destination_Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number] (/Option) produces the same results as: [Destination_Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number] At [Source_Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number] (/Option) All options described above work the same for both syntax structures. When cloning without the Clone keyword, keep in mind that the source and destination change places within the syntax. For more information on the At keyword, see the At keyword.
