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

  • The main issue for change type with multitype fixtures is the order of the cells/parts.
    Also the number of cells etc...
    There is a request for a clone-matrix so that you can choose which part should be cloned to the new one.

    Thats why I always use the single parts in combination with dotted user numbers.
    Change type is a fast process.... 3-5 clicks...
    After that an aggregated fixtures behaves like a compound
