clipboard.
21.9.8
Paste
Paste
pastes the attribute values from the clipboard to the currently selected fixture or
multiple fixtures.
Hint: There are also Copy and Paste buttons on the front panel command centre. Copy and
Paste is a powerful function. It allows you to duplicate attribute settings between different
types of fixtures with just a few clicks or keystrokes.
For example, you have 12 fixtures that use Red, Green, Blue (additive) colour mixing and 12
fixtures that use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (subtractive) colour mixing. Select the RGB fixtures
and set them to a colour (or even fan a range of colours) then press Copy. Select the CMY
fixtures then press Paste. All 24 fixtures are now set to matching colours. Clarity’s fixture
translation engine is very comprehensive and will attempt to convert all programming for all
attribute types.
