Clone Fixture to Fixture

 

1. Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:

• This process creates selective data for fixture 2. 
• Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
• Fixture 2 keeps the data of fixture 1 in case fixture 2 should not have any data for specific objects. 

2. Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the option Merge:

• This process creates selective data for fixture 2.
• Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1. 
• Fixture 2 keeps its data in case fixture 1 should not have any data for specific objects. 

3. Example:

If you clone fixtures 1 and 2 to fixtures in group 10 in sequences 1 through 10:

• This process copies data from fixtures 1 and 2 to fixtures in group 10 within sequence 1 through 10 only. 

4.Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture 2 with the option Overwrite:

• This process creates selective data for fixture 2. 
• Fixture 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.

Clone Fixture to Fixture Type

 

Important:
Cloning fixtures to fixture types clones selective data to global data. 

1. Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the default option, i.e., Low Prio Merge:

• This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
• Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning.
• Fixture type 2 keeps the data of fixture 1 in case fixture type 2 should not have any data for specific objects. 

2. Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Merge:

• This process creates global data for fixture type 2.
• Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1. 
• Fixture type 2 keeps its data in case fixture 1 should not have any data for specific objects. 

3.Example:

If you clone fixture 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Overwrite:

• This process creates global data for fixture type 2
• Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1.

Clone Fixture Type to Fixture Type

 

Important:
Cloning fixture types to fixture types clones global data to global data. 

1. Example:

• This process creates global data for fixture type 2. 
• Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing it did before cloning. 
• Fixture type 2 keeps the data of fixture type 1 in case fixture type 2 should not have any data for specific objects. 

2. Example:

If you clone fixture type 1 to fixture type 2 with the option Merge:

• This process creates global data for fixture type 2. 
• Fixture type 2 now does the exact same thing as fixture 1. 
• Fixture type 2 keeps its data in case fixture type 1 should not have any data for specific objects.
