Update Fixture Positions
You may need to update the positions of fixtures where the bundle width has changed, the fixture located at the elbow needs to be refreshed, or the fixtures on an arc need to be updated after manipulating the bundle.
Procedure
Right-click the fixture to be updated to invoke the context menu.The Context Menu > Update Fixture Positions action works only on the selected fixture(s). If no fixtures are selected, the action is unavailable.
Select Update Fixture Positions from the menu.Pressing Space Bar and entering Fixtures also works on the selected set of fixtures. If no specific fixture is selected, all the fixtures on the diagram will be updated.
Click OK, to complete the action.
Results
If a fixture was in the incorrect position, it will be moved to the correct position.
If a fixture was no longer valid (for example, an elbow fixture where the elbow no longer exists), it will be removed.
