Subject: [LCtalk] double spotlight
From: Philippe Amand

Hi:

1) In the reference manual you wrote:
"The group setup window allows you to add, delete and reorder the contents of a group. It's also possible to change the name of the group and paste a custom icon."
I've found that it's not possible to paste custom icons in the group setup window. In the fixtures setup window I have no problems, using the paste command I can change icons. I'm using Mac OS X.3

2) I think I have found another little problem, I believe. I'm a theatre lighting designer, and It's very common in theatre to connect 2 or more spotlights at a same circuit at different places of the lightplot. I like to change fixtures icons on the stage window so I can recognize them just as on my Lightplot drawing. I have tried to put 2 single dimmer channel fixtures at different places of the stage window with the same base channel number so if I select one or the other, both spotlights turns on. It apparently works with no problems. But I have found that recording steps, after I have been selecting one or the other on the stage window, sometimes when I click the store button even if that fixture is at 0 it returns to the intensity level it was at the previous cue step. The solution I have been using is to paste a double spotlight icon drawing in a single dimmer channel fixture, so I know I'm turning on 2 spotlights on stage.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Philippe
