Fixture Swap

Where clone is useful to copy data from existing fixtures to new ones, the swap function will swap the fixture entirely in the showfile, thus keeping it less cluttered.

Please note that swapping of multipart fixtures is not supported. Such fixtures have to be manually cloned where the user must define the source and target parts carefully. Once successfully cloned the source fixture can then be deleted from the patch.

Swapping works almost identically to cloning:

3. Select the new Fixture Type by browsing the manufacturers & models in the library.
4. Press Choose Type...
5. Repeat these steps for multiple fixture types as needed.
6. Now, navigate to the Swap screen from the left sidebar:
   
   
7. Verify that the Swap commands listed are what you desire.
8. Under "Actions", in the bottom left corner, press Execute Commands.
9. ONYX will swap the fixtures to the new type.
