Any place to check where are all fixtures on project?

[Cristiano Alves]

Hi, it's bizarre and never happened to me before.
All my fixtures have a Channel number, but when I look at my Patch DMX Window, I have four more fixtures that I don't know how/where it is.

Any way to locate/delete these fixtures?

They could be Accessories or Static Accessories that are embedded into your Symbol definitions. Do you have any Lighting Devices with hook clamps?

I don't think so, anyway, there must be some place to check where they can be.

In addition, why do accessories appear in the DMX Patch list?

[markdd]

Static Accessories have no business being there as they do not accept power or any form of control. However, Accessories, do sometimes accept Power and Control and these should have the ability to be patched.

 

Does that mean that all your Lighting Devices have no clamps at all?

Yes I have clamps on lasers!

If the Lasers are Lighting Devices and the clamps have a Light Info Record added to them then they will register as Accessories and show up at the bottom of the list.

Understand.
Any way to keep accessories out of the DMX list?

[markdd]

Removing the records from the Symbols is the only way. Does it matter as these are not going to show up on any paperwork?

If you make a worksheet for lighting devices and include the DMX column, you can sort by DMX, and those items 'should' appear at the start/end of your worksheet.
