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

    Hi Maegan,
    Thank you for this.
    I forgot the last step which was view compound type parts.
    I'm currently working with JDC1 fixtures in 62 channel mode.
    I don't think I would have enough time to change type everytime I need to change a fixture type if this is nessesary.
    On Wednesday next I have the same fixture in 68 channel mode so I would need to repeat the entire process for every 100 fixtures which effectively means changing type for a few thousand fixtures.
    IMHO long term there needs to be a better solution than manually telling the console which part to change type to/from.
    Thank you for the reply.
