Partial Merge Fixtures

Question

Hi All, 
 Not found anything in partial show search. I'm trying to merge 1 or more fixtures but NOT ALL from another show. How can I select one or more items since there are no Numbers in Fixtures list of a show? 
 Thanks for helping and stay safe.

for me the easiest solution for this has always been to have all fixture types in my reference show patched to at least one channel. and when merging i merge advance>patch and choose this one single channel.

You go in to "Advanced" next to select all, OK and Cancel to the left on the screen. There you can say what to merge, what ranges and so on.

you merge patched fixtures. In advanced you select fixtures, then start channel number and end channel number, and then new target channel number if you want a new starting number.

Ahh. You want to import a custom template! 
 That you do as a import of a ASCII show file. Look in the manual (tab 100) under importing show files.

Uh - no, sorry that's not a good way of doing it. 
 
 Try this: 
 File>Open>Select File with Fixtures 
 Click Deselect All 
 Click Fixtures 
 
 Delete the fixtures you don't want to import 
 Save your file 
 Open the file you want to merge the fixtures into 
 File>Merge>Select your new file 
 Click Fixtures 
 
 There currently isn't an easy way of merging in only some profiles. You could also make use of the "Delete Unused" option in the profile editor which will remove unused profiles.
