EASY VIEW repeatedly loses the lamp positions.

Post by lazyland »

After several unintentional and incomprehensible "resets" of the Easy View software, I no longer dare to approach the program. Either I'm bullshit or the software has a quirk.

After several times I have positioned about 20 lamps in one scene (church), I open the program DasLight for the umpteenth time, whereby also EasyView opens automatically. Suddenly all lamps are in their original position and all parameters such as position, angle, etc. are missing.

I'm assuming that I myself build the bullshit and the software works perfectly.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong without realizing it?

Thanks in advance, Ingo

Hello,

Easy View software contains a bug which causes the fixture positions to reset if you patch one more fixture after you loaded your showfile.

This bug has been fixed and the fix will come in next beta version of D4.

Best regards,
TomHat

Thanks for the answer.

Meanwhile I experimented and found that every time you add a new lamp in the DMX grid, the positions are lost in the 3D viewer. Then I finish the 3D viewer without saving and reload the same file. Then all lights are back to the correct place.

This mistake is uncomfortable but if you know how it is created you can avoid it. But you can not accidentally save, because otherwise the correct file will be overwritten with the lost positions.

I hope that I have expressed myself understandably.

The problem is solved anyway.

Thanks to the forum!
