Hi All,

I am needing to redo my patching for a lot of fixtures to accommodate new ones and to order everything correctly in my rig. So I will be re addressing a lot of fixtures and deleting some fixtures from my show files. I am wondering if there is a streamlined approach to adjusting this patching in each show file, can this new patching info be merged into my existing show files so that I don’t have to go into each one and change the patching each time?
