Problem:
The fixture name displayed above the faders is always the same. If I have multiple identical fixtures, it's hard to remember which is which. I want to rename them to reflect their actual position on the stage.Solution:
While this is not yet supported in the DMXIS software, there is a workaround. Simply copy the fixture file and rename it as you require.
For the following solution, note that the fixture library is located here:
Windows: C:/Program Files/ENTTEC/DMXIS/DmxLibrary/
OSX : /Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS/DmxLibrary/
Say you have two 4-channel dimmer packs on T-Bars stands with PAR56 cans:
- Create a new folder in the fixture library called "My Fixtures"
- Make two copies of the standard fixture file "Generics/4 Way Dimmer.dmx" in your new folder
- Rename the two new files as you wish e.g. "T-Bar Left.dmx" and "T-Bar Right.dmx"
- Load your custom-named fixtures in DMXIS instead of the standard ones.
