Adding new LED bars to all the scenes/cues

Hi to all! My name is Fabio. I've recently increased my led bar setup with a new order, the products and software are amazing!

I need to know what is the easiest way to add all the new purchased led bars in all of my scenes/cues previously created. I've done it well on only 1 scene, but i don't understand how to mantain this setup in all the scenes/cue, replacing the previous setup.

I've tried to copy/paste in all the scenes, but in this case there's a lot of work to do, cloning the setup, and regrettably I'm losing all the midi-controlled automation to the parameters... :-(

Here you can find 2 screenshot to understand better the situation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing (also in attached to this topic)

Please someone help me! Thanks so much in advance. Greetings from Italy :-)

You can do it in one click by selecting all scenes to modify and dragging the DMX fixtures on one of the selected scene cell

Thanks Matt. The problem is that when i drag the new correct DMX fixtures in a new scene/scenes, also the related media are copied... that means I'm losing my previuos created scene/scenes ...

I need only to copy/modify the setup with new added led bars (and the related new positioning and DMX address) to the old scenes, but not the media related the old scenes. I hope I'm explained well my problem, and sorry for poor english. Thanks again!

UPDATE / SOLVED WITH MY METHOD

1 - I've added to the project all the new bars/fixtures, configuring properly the new DMX address, according to my new expanded setup

2 - I've created a new scene, and in that scene I'm start to positioning and dimensioning well the new bars (in terms of fixture rotation, placement and size), but non finished yet completely

3 - I'm going in EDIT mode from that created scene, then I select all (cmd+A) all the cue/scenes, and then, very carefully, I've start to complete the perfect positioning for my setup: turning all "red" the "yellow" parameters, but absolutely not touching the "media" related section. In this way, all the scenes/cues mantain the original assigned media, but with a new placement of the bars/fixtures. Exiting the EDIT mode, now ALL the scenes/cue have the same new setup/position, but with the previous programmed medias.

4 - Scene by scene, cues by cues, I've turn on the new bars/fixture, already positioned, "simply" updating the values for each (add all).

5 - Done! :-)

My personal consideration: I think it's a really bad & boring way to expand a LED setup, especially when you've already programmed over 50 scenes/cues with different medias... and this need to happen every time u need adding or modify the main setup... hope in the future there will be a more easy and fast way to do it. Or... just simply I've not understand the software :-) Hope this can help someone.
