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 Marc,
    Is it possible when using fixture builder to "copy type" from more than one fixture to make the new fixture?
    I'm testing something here and it would be helpful if i could add the 3 dotted single parts to create a new fixture.
    Yes i know i can patch the dotted fixtures but it would be helpful in this instance if i had a compound fixture for time/ease/speed.
    I've kept this within this thread as it's the same conversation (for me anyway)
    A situation where having a compound fixture which has been set to an extended mode (single parts) that i don't currently have in my show-file.

    Thanks Cormac
