Original LXSeries Forum

The issue with the color for a position's name text field is because the Set Stroke color of Info Fields option in the Automatic tab of the preferences is enabled. This was working incorrectly and preventing a uniform color from being assigned across all name fields, which is what it is supposed to ...

Only the DMX iris is a device that will affect the owning light. A regular Iris is just a symbol that tells someone reading the plot that the unit should have an iris in it. If you want to control an individual light's beam with an iris for rendering purposes, then the way to do it is with a device ...

A DMX Iris will change the size of the beam of its owner. There are two things required for this to work. 1) The DMX Iris accessory must be connected to its owner. This can happen automatically when you select a light and then select the DMX Iris from the symbols palette. You will be asked if you wa...

There was an issue with importing graphics when a section was in a tab, rather than a separate window. This is now fixed in the latest version. You should be able to copy/paste, use File->Import->Graphic from File... or drag and drop to get an image into a section view tab with 2.6.4 (14415.1) which...

It sounds like perhaps something happened to your preferences settings. This is unlikely to be related to installing a new version. It will happen with a clean install of an operating system or putting the software on a new computer. The preference for grouping when using an insert command is found ...

No, that is a proprietary thing that is only for DMXSoft products. At some point LXSeries may support GDTF files that would allow importing fixture profiles in a somewhat standard way.

If you can't choose the desired paper size in the page setup, try clicking Properties->Advanced after you have selected the printer you want to use. If you have a box arou...

The only control software in the LXSeries collection that runs on RPi is LXConsole | python. But, this is not really a python version of standard LXConsole on Mac. It is a really simple version of a controller, much like the console view in MacLux Pro from way back in the day. It does not support MI...

Try the Setup window's Faders tab.

Make sure that the External Control: MIDI box is checked. With that enabled, incoming MIDI should control the faders as they are individually set.

Also, be sure that overall MIDI input is enabled with File->External->MIDI/Show Control In

Preferences->Interface Uncheck the "Passive Cue/Group/Sub list row selection" option. Alternatively, you can leave the selection passive, so that cues won't be selected from the cue list by a simple click. But, holding down the option key and selecting a row in the cue list will select it ...

There's not really a set maximum because the available memory can vary widely depending on how your computer is set up. One big factor in how much memory is used is the View->Faster PDF Display option. When this is enabled, a PDF is rendered into memory so that the display can be updated quickly. Th...
