You have to edit the fixture type in patch and add emitters in the Physical Descriptions tab.

As reference, you could import GDTF fixture types (that have measured emitters, for example, Robe does this) and see how the data is organized.

This is a known bug.

This is difficult to tell without knowing the show file.

I suggest you get in contact with your local distributor or the tech support, tell them the problem, and provide them your show file. They are happy to help you.

cd Sequence 1

List Cue 1 (if you do only List, you see only the properties, all cues have in common)

See there is TrigType listed as property.

->Resulting command:

Set Sequence 1 Cue 1 Property "TrigType" "Follow"

Can it be the case, that you don't have active values on the absolute or relative layer, and also enabled Active Only on the Link Value button in the encoder bar?

Try using the Drive keyword first before using the option keyword /Path:

Drive Keyword - grandMA3 User Manual - Help pages of MA Lighting International GmbH

Also, you should learn about the library keyword for files you want to import:

Library Keyword - grandMA3 User Manual - Help pages of MA Lighting International GmbH

Import Image Library "myImage.png.xml" At Images "Images".1 If Drive 2

This would import the file from the first connected USB drive.

Also make sure, that an XML file exists correspondingly to the image file.

You can force the creation of XML files for media files by using the UpdateContent keyword:

Tip: Try it via the user interface, and then have a look at the command line history:

You can use single quotes within double quotes:

Assign Macro 1.50.1 /cmd="Assign Executor 308 Cue 1 /cmd='Off Page 1 thru 8 Executor 308+408+508+608+708+808 ; On Executor 308' "

You have to specify the object type (in this case Appearance) also for the library file:

Import Appearance Library "my_appearances.xml" At Appearance 101 If Drive 2

One more thing: PresetType does not exist in grandMA3. It is replaced by the FeatureGroup keyword.

When anybody of you has a safe way to reproduce the issue, please report it to your local distributor or to tech support.

You can do this via the command line. For example:

Assign Macro 1 At Layout 2.3

This assigns macro 1 to the third layout element in the second layout.

Instead of Load Next and Load Previous you can also something like Load +2 for loading the second next cue.

What do you see instead of the encoder bar? The playback bar with the executors , or the Xkeys bar?

If you see anything of these two, you might press U2 or U1 again. Both keys toggle the corresponding bars above the encoder bar.

Did you unfold the entry of the onPC station itself in the Connector Configuration/Output Configuration menu?

Fader wings are added there as children/sub-devices of the command wing:

Which command do you use to achieve this?

I tried it with "Reset Selection MAtricks" and it happened the same as when tapping reset in the MAtricks window.

Or you patch the fixtures as children of a MA Lighting MArker fixture in Moving Mode.

Then you can program the change of the position directly into the cue and don't has to change the position via the command line.

In shared/resource/ you will find all the library files that MA Lighting ships with the software.

The designated place for your custom library files is gma3_library/. This folder is independent of the different versions.

The manual is now also up-to-date.
