  • anyone else has got this problem? i tried 2 freshly FAT32 formated USB sticks, but everytime I download a MA2 fixture type from MA fixture share and try to open F:\grandMA3\gma3_library\fixturetypes in MA3 on PC, the files do not show up. but when I import the same files into MA2 it works fine...

  • You cannot import grandMA2 fixture types directly into grandMA3.

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Import the grandMA2 fixture types into a grandMA2 show.
    2. Save the grandMa2 show as grandMA3 show.
    3. Load the converted show in grandMA3
    4. Export the (now to grandMA3) converted fixture types, or use them directly in the converted.
      1. When you exported this fixture types, then you can import them to other grandMA3 shows.
  • thank you very much, didn't know that, because i thought when there are ma2 fixture types in the following folder: C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_1.8.8\shared\lib_fixture_types\grandma2, it's also possible to just import it and it can be found/used in ma3...can someone explain please?

    These fixture types are already converted from grandMA2 to grandMA3.
