Change type Compound fixture to Compound fixture...easily.

Hi,
Is there any way to simply change type between a compound fixture and another compound fixture.
I understand what exploding a compound fixture is but i don't understand how it is then possible to change type from an exploded compound fixture to another compound fixture which you can't explode or is not in the show yet?
What ideally i'm looking for is a quick and easy way to change type between compound fixtures.

I deal with a lot of festival systems and don't have the programming time available to go through cues individually
when changing type with compound fixtures.
Dealing with a huge amount of LED bars/LED strobes/LED wash fixtures that are compound is becoming increasingly difficult.

Currently trying to edit a show that has 50+ strobes in an extended in 62 channel mode which despite having several other versions of that strobe programmed already and in the show i cannot change type (easily).

Thanks Cormac

    There is not an "easy" way to change type of a compound fixture. You basically have to change type of each part to the other part of the other compound fixture.

    1. explode the compound fixtures
    2. select the part(s) you want to change type of and hit change type
    3. Check the box that says "View compound type parts" which will show you all the parts of a compound fixture
    4. choose the part in the list and hit OK.
    5. Repeat for the rest of the parts of the compound fixtures.
