Removing Fixture Global Reset renumbers DMX addresses in custom fixture

I came upon a weird quirk while editing a copy of the profile for the Varilite VL1000T.

I needed to remove the Fixture Global Reset channel from my patch, and at first didn't know how to do this. I was informed that I needed to delete the Lamp Controls in order to change or delete the Fixture Global Reset parameter. After removing all of the lamp controls & deleting the Fixture Global Reset parameter (DMX 19), all of the DMX assignments were automatically renumbered from 1. This made the Pan DMX 1, but DMX 1 is the intensity (but is actually an external dimmer).

So, is this a quirk, bug, or intended behavior?

ver 1.9.10 Mac OLE

  • Ann beat me to it.

    I just followed your steps and the fixture editor didn't renumber everything when I deleted the fixture global reset parameter. I am using the beta build for 2.0.

    Steps:
    - Copied fixture in Fixture Editor
    - {Lamp Controls}
    - Delete the four lamp commands
    - {Return} to view the parameters
    - Select the Global Fixture Reset parameter and press {Delete}

    Everything remained numbered how it was prior to the deletion.

    Ok cool. I'll do it for real when I'm in the theater later today. I'm working from home, and havn't installed the beta in my Mac. (Or even the most recent public release!)
