selection of the custom fixture is off center cant select it to move does anybody know how to fix this

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.


Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Will
