SetVar $univ = (what universe?) SelFix DMX $univ.1 Thru $univ.512

Type the following into the command line: cd editsetup cd presettypes delete *.*.*.* delete *.*.* delete *.* delete * cd/

Sounds like you're accidentally toggling Program Time Manual XFade on and off unknowingly. You'll see a virtual fader for Program Time at the right side of your encoder bar. When the "Manual XFade" button has a green square in the top right, it's enabled and you won't see programmer values output until sliding the program time fader all the way up. Simply tap the "Manual XFade"

Can you confirm that you're not in a World or Filter which restricts dimmer? I assume you're able to store other presets without issue? Try typing this into the command line: unlock preset 1.* cd preset cd.. unlock 1 cd/

> How do I save---or can I---a copy of the MA2 onPC showfile to a usb or my hard drive for backup? Press , then the tools on the 'Internal' tab apply to the hard drive of the computer / console, and the tools on the 'USB' tab (may say the name of your USB stick if you have given it a name) apply to the connected USB stick. > While positioning fixtures in the "Fixtures Position&qu

Here are a few places where you can get nicer models that more closely match the real fixture(s): - This forum has some around - KeyLight Model Pack - NRG Sille

If you're trying to update an MA1 node (which it sounds like you are), please try putting an unmanaged switch in between the computer and the node and see if that makes a difference.

Does your fixture's position and rotation in real life actually match its position and rotation in MA3D / console stage view?

Have a look at the SetIP keyword.

Program Time Manual X-Fade is enabled. Right side of the encoder bar you'll find the Program Time fader - tap the "Manual X-Fade" button so the green box turns off.

grandMA2 is not designed to connect in session wirelessly. You may find that it works sometimes but this is not recommended. If it must be a wireless connection you might look into using the WebRemote instead.

Perhaps you should contact your local distributor as well. :)

If you the Preset, you'll see the actual data contained in it. Anything with an "FT" number is global (except for FT 1 which is universal).

By default Safari and Chrome block the opening of local XML files. You could try using Firefox or Edge for this. Or with some googling including your OS details you can probably find instructions for enabling this function on Safari and Chrome.

If you are Editing the Preset, you could also try pressing Off and tap the Fixture or FixtureType, then Update.

This is probably not the best place for this discussion. There are a ton of variables that go into this. Perhaps you could talk to the folks at Zactrack in Austria.

Is there a reason you need Lua for this rather than using normal command line syntax?

Copy/Paste from the "3D Objects" tab of MA3D into an excel file?

You don't need to use CD here. Use the Root keyword instead: - Assign Root 10.2.x /DefaultScope="desired_scope" And similar for Kai's user defaults suggestion earlier: - Assign UserProfile $userprofile.8 /Mode="desired_scope"

If you're using them in a mode with multiple instances, this is a known limitation. You must export them out of vectorworks using a single-instance mode or fixturetype, then swap to the multi-instance mode after importing the file into MA2.

If you contact your local distributor they should be able to provide them.

{Fixture Sort} or {Prog Only} are the options I think you're looking for.

I suggest you contact your local distributor.

You shouldn't need the filter here anyway. Nor do you need to call the position presettype. World $"world" Clearall Group $group Attribute "Pan" At 0 Store Preset 2."p center" /s /m (Clearall)

Or use the GDTF builder and then turn that into an MA2 profile. ;)
