Hello Everyone

I'm New In this forum this is my first post.
I've Been working with Sunlite Suite 2 for a while and i have a question.
Supposedly i have a number of moving heads, my issue is if created a Switch/Scene to position all of them a one point A ,how can I let these moving head make a certain movement (ex: circle+phasing ) at this point A .
i always get stuck at the automatic circle in easy time and edit each fixture X/Y value .

Please if anyone can help me it would be great !

Thank you

Hi David,

There are a couple of things you can try to achieve the desired effect:

1) If you don't need to edit the position live you could use a Palette:
> Click on the Other Windows button and choose Palette
> Create a new palette and select Palette by Fixture option
> Name it what you like, i.e Centre
> Select fixtures and set desired centre point using the X-Y properties tab on the right
> Close & Save Palette editor
> Create new button or edit pre-made X-Y button
> Select 'Centre' (target icon, image attached)
> Select your palette

2) If you need to move the centre position live do the following:
> Shift right click one of the pre-made X-Y buttons and open button properties
> Click Switch bottom left and then make sure the 'ADD Add to the current level' option is selected & close
> Then use the X-Y grid to change position

This is adding the level of the X-Y grid to what ever button you playing.

Hope that helps
