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.

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.

Hey Andy Not at all. They have been really communicative and taken on suggestions - the copy feature is in beta! Check in the updates and it should be there I've not had opportunity to actually try it as yet as I've been away but hopefully it should do what's needed or at least be done way I was going to post once I'd seen it so I could comment properly

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.
