Aim conventional tab not in edit toolbar

Question

I have tried a new file with conventional fixtures too and no aim conventional tool. Any Pointers would be great. 
 Is it something you have to turn on?

Hi Andrew, you are in Augment3d Edit, but aiming of static (conventional) fixtures can only be done via Patch. From your exact screen there: 
 - exit A3d Edit. 
 - enter "regular patch" 
 - switch to the Augment3d tab (making sure your command line stays in Patch) 
 - I do this by clicking on the "38 Augment3d" tab label that's circled 
 
 - Select the channel or channels you want to aim on the command line (I've selected Channel 1 here) 
 - Long-click a spot, or shift+click a spot, and the light will point there. 
 
 You can also make small changes using the Position and Orientation GUI in Patch here.

 Hope that helps,
