Copy and paste a fixture in a scene to a new fixture (same model)

I have 8 LED 36x10w wash movers - all in 16 channel mode, and each with their own address so I can tilt / pan them to certain parts of the stage, and use the chase oscillator. I just bought 4 of the exact same movers, and I want to add them to my existing scenes... However, when adding the new fixtures (which will be DMX 129, 145, 161, & 177), they start in default mode (everything zeroed out). I have to go in manually to all 30 scenes, and manipulate the same color, dimmer, strobe scene, pan / tilt.

In a perfect world, there should be a way to copy the settings of and existing fixture in a scene, and paste it onto the new model fixtures within the same scene. This would save TONS of time.


4 people have this problem

I have raised this recently The need to scale existing setup by adding fixtures and simply replicating the attributes/programs to those rather than set each manually I believe this was available in DMXIS somehow so had hoped for functionality in current, evolving software but I have been advised not and to raise within the forum here (I see the original post was 2 years ago...)

Hey _ thesoulconnectionuk

Do you get the feeling you’ve been lied to?

I think Emu is being discontinued and they are just stringing us all along to keep us paying for as long as possible - it might be worth starting a new post with suggestions for alternative software so we can all plan ahead before the inevitable. Enttec Emu support and development is virtually nonexistent, it’s quite obvious what’s going to happen… it’s a shame as it’s really good software but we are being ripped.

Same with me as with thesoulconnectionuk - I don't feel myself been lied to. The support was always online and replies back very promptly (however I haven't talk to them for a long time as I don't have difficulties using EMU anymore but still thinking they don't leave messages unanswered).


You idea of publishing enttec's plans I don't find real as I've never seen for any product in the Internet when devs share their development plan and timeline. And this platform I guess is made more for us, users, to share our experience and maybe help newbies, i.e. they make their support team life easier and I find it reasonable.

It's not quite there yet, I'm having some issues BUT the functionality is in Beta release... Anyone else tried it yet?

Tried, looks good, works good and helpful. Took me some time to get into it better though. However there is still no confidence wether I fully learned it but seems more than enough for my small needs.
