[LCtalk] Patching

[Patrick Neame]

In the normal course of events I'll sit down and do a lighting plan on 
paper. This time I'm doing it on screen in LCedit! Now as I build my 
rig each lantern is automatically assigned a channel. That channel 
will not correspond to the outlet into which the lantern is plugged.

So I need to patch it. This appears to be a case of double clicking 
the lantern and selecting the patch tab. After that I'm a bit lost. 
Let's assume that when I physically do the rigging this lantern will 
be plugged into channel 40. Do I then tell the base channel that it is 
now 40 and not 5, or whatever it happens to be?

(We're only dealing with simple generic lanterns here, they just shine 
so there are no issues about shutters and colour.)

Thanks in advance.
