Hello,

Thanks for the report! This isn't something I've seen before, could you please compress the .dvc file into a .zip folder and send it over to us via this thread so that I can investigate further for you?

Kind regards,
Will

Dear Will,
here with the zip file.
i included the fixture profile.

Looking forward to your reply

Hello,

Thanks for sending that over- I can see that the problem was indeed relating to the fixture profile, I have attached the fixed file to this response. In order to add it to your project without losing any programming, you can complete the following steps:

- Download the attached file and extract the .ssl2 from the .zip folder.
- Go to your computers file directory, then find Daslight 5 > ScanLibrary.
- Locate the folder that your original fixture was located in. If you are unsure, you can open your Daslight 5 project, go to Setup, activate the List view, then see the filepath in the Library column.
- Drag and drop the attached .ssl2 file to the same folder that the original fixture is stored within. When prompted on how to import the file, select 'replace'.
- Restart Daslight 5 and open your project.
- Right click on the LED-MH fixture and press 'Update profile file'.

Kind regards,
Will

Can you tell me what i did wrong? I had this once before but what if it happens again how can i restore it

Hello!

The issue here was that the beam was set to the point 2:2 on the grid, whereas the selection border of the fixture in Daslight starts in row/column 1. See the two images below, the first image is how the fixture was created initially- the second is how the fixture should be.
