Sheet showing attributes tied to category

I dont know if there is a document but if you go into patch and just go to the screen where you setup a custom profile, then when you click on the attribute to assign to a dmx channel in the profile, you get to choose which category and then it shows all the possible attributes for that category. In 2.7 the display is easier to read as its just in a scrolling list view but be aware their are several hundred attributes, so not sure its going to help you with whatever you had in mind.

Was there something specific you were trying to discover?

Hi Mike. Yeah I'm wanting to 'attempt' to create a custom bit of hardware but it relies knowing which categories each attribute is assigned to. I mean I could just work through the list and populate them into categories myself, but I would rather get them in the correct categories to begin with. - As ueliriegg said, I can open the CIA and it shows the tiles but is only semi helpful.

If you are trying to work over OSC the console transmits the category with the /eos/out/active/wheel info. After the attribute name and level it transmits a value for the category. You can use this to sort the attributes into the appropriate category.

I think the closest you are going to get to what you want is to create a new show and patch a load of different fixtures and then run the Export to USITT ASCII

Near the top of the export file you will get something like the bit below. It only exports this bit for attributes used in the fixtures you have patched (hence patching lots of them)
