  • Let's say I have some Robe Pointe in my patch and they are called Pointe 1, Pointe 2, Pointe 3...

    I select Pointe 2 and store a group.

    I rename group "My special spot"

    In the patch I now have Pointe 1, My special spot, Pointe 3...

    Why would I want that to happen??

    Can I do something to avoid it?

  • I've had this exact same thing happen and I'm not sure of a valid way around it either.

    Two workarounds that I have found (both suck):

    • Adding an empty grouping fixture to the group so it has two fixtures.
    • Label the group, then Label the Fixture, This seems to work as long as your dont re-label the group.
  • Yes I've tried workaround #2...but as you mention...it sucks

    I've also noticed that single-fixture groups automatically get appearance from the picture in the Fixture Type file.

    Not a fan of that either. Too small to identify by and just makes text less visible.

    EDIT: The last one I did solve. It was the Appearance field for a fixture under Fixture Types in Patch.

    The Group did not use Appearance but an image from "Fixture Images" directly.

    NOTE! Seems like you have to leave Patch twice before the changes update....
