Is there a way to adjust symmetry between fixtures?
I see a button that says Symmetry when I right-click the viewer on the Setup page, but clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything.
It seems like I can never know what fixtures the software is going to consider symmetrical with others.
As an example, lets say addresses 001,021,041,&061 are moving heads. You would think that 001 and 061 would be a pair and 021 and 041 would be a pair. Sometimes it is, but other times it pairs 001 with 021 and 041 with 061. Now for my display to look symmetrical, I need to address them as 001 - 041 - 021 - 061. This is really counterintuitive and makes additional notes necessary to repeat a build from one location to the next.
If I wanted to apply a quick chase to all of my fixtures, it runs through them in the order they're addressed, not the order they're mapped in the viewer.
I feel like we need a symmetry editor of some kind to generate cohesive sequences.

Re: Symmetry Adjustments
Hello,
the order the fixture is mapped in the viewer is used by the FX. so you can easily make an symmetry pattern

Re: Symmetry Adjustments
Thanks for clarifying.
The issue I'm having happens when we have 4 or 6 moving heads in a row. Fixtures 1& 2 will be in phase and 3&4 are in phase. They're in a line on my viewer, but for whatever reason it's not applying that to the pattern This is where I've re-addressed the fixtures to fake symmetry.
