I believe I once read from admin, that it is best to create the fixture list in the visualiser manually, rather that auto update fixtures from DVC2.
The reason given was that if new fixtures are added , or addresses changed, all the fixtures end up in a line in the middle of the screen.
So can someone explain why this happens, and is there a way if you already use the auto system , to stop updates.
please explain someone??

When you add a fixture in Daslight, a unique index number is created. The 3D reads this and uses it as a reference when saving the show, adding and positioning the fixture graphic etc...
If you remove and re-add the fixture in Daslight, the index number will change, even if it is the same fixture type. Same if you create a new show with the same fixtures, although the profile is the same the unique index is different, therefore you lose all the info in the 3D.
