How to Unpatch a single universe of Addresses?

As usual, I'm probably missing something obvious but I've come across this before and not found a solution.

I have a touring show that uses four universes of DMX. Universe 1 is for house dimmers and so is the only one that varies from venue to venue. However, I cannot just unpatch this universe (Address 1 THRU 512 @ [ENTER]) as that removes all my labels and all other patch data. CHANNEL @ [ENTER] doesn't delete patch data (just unpatches it if I remember correctly) but of course only helps if the addresses you want to unpatch are consecutive

Any ideas?

Cheers, Liam.

    I think the best option would be for ETC to fix the software so that this doesn't happen. I've encountered the same thing with a company that I regularly work with. They open their shows in my theatre, & then transfer to another theatre for two shows. When they leave my theatre they do the same thing - Address 1 thru 1000 @ Enter, and get rid off all their patch, labels & database info in one command. Maybe if there was an Unpatch softkey that just removed the patch info?
