Version 2.1

To enter the /Single option keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

• Type /Single

Description

The /Single option keyword is used when extracting presets or when autocreating single fixture groups. 

When extracting embedded presets or phaser presets where presets are integrated in the steps, Extract will call directly the values of the source presets.

Using the /Single option keyword together with the Extract keyword makes it possible to extract one level down in the hierarchy of presets.

	Important:
	The combination of the Extract keyword together with the /Single option keyword currently works with presets that are active in the programmer.
