Suite2 Beta 5th September issues
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:08 am
A few things I've noticed with this beta.. details follow the list
1 - Pan Tilt Settings for fixtures are being reset to defaults randomly
2 - Fixture Window - Positioning of fixtures is reset to defaults randomly
3 - DMX Output switch allowing a fixture to be controlled when turned off
1) Pages - Settings - Patch - Change Pan/Tilt Settings For Selected Fixture
I've had 3 cases now where the fixture patch settings for positioning, invert x and invert y have been reset to 0 or unchecked.
I haven't been able to determine what or when this is happening. For example, yesterday morning, I set all of this information and had the show running perfectly. I shut down Sunlite Suite2, came back 10 mins later, loaded it up and the settings were reset. Re-positioned everything, ran it for a while, shut things down, loaded it back up about an hour later and these setting were again reset. So, I re-positioned everything again, set all of my required inverts, ran the show on and off the rest of the day, shut the program, computer and interface off, took it all to a gig, loaded everything up and everything was still set properly. Then this evening, I loaded up the show and everything was again reset.
I made a save of the show with everything set properly last night just in case. This evening, after finding everything again reset, I imported the show and they are still reset to 0. Not sure what's going on what that.
2) The Fixture Window - It seems that when #1 above happens, it also resets all of my fixture placements for the Master and Fixture Pages to the default positions. (i.e. all fixtures in a single row)
3) DMX Output - At my show last night, I disabled the DMX output to a hazer that was useless because of all the fans at the venue... I had a switch for it that was a part of a scene that I was running. Whenever I ran the scene, with the DMX output turned off for the hazer, it still ran as if the DMX output was on.
Thanks...
