In GrandMA3, copying fixture settings (intensity, color, position, etc.) from one cue to another involves copying values while being mindful of tracking. Here’s how you can do it:

Methods to Copy Settings from One Cue to Another

  1. Using Copy Command (CLI)

  2. Using Store Merge (Keeps Existing Tracking)

  3. Copying Fixture Data from One Cue to Another

  4. Copying Data from Programmer to a Different Cue

Examples:

Copy Cue 1 At Cue 5

  • This copies everything (intensity, color, position, etc.) from Cue 1 to Cue 5.

Copy Cue 1 Thru 3 Attribute "Color" At Cue 10

  • This will only copy color values from Cues 1-3 to Cue 10.
