Error: No Fixture Definition found for....

[mattchristenson]

I'm new to QLC+, so this could be user error (probably is)

I'm using windows. Latest versions.

I used the fixture editor to create a .qxf file.

I moved it into the C:\QLC+\Fixtures directory in a subfolder that was the name of the manufacturer.

It didn't appear in QLC+. I tried finding help about the correct way to "import" these. The import feature imports a list and is a different file type.

I found the "FixturesMap.xml" file, and using the format I saw I added an entry into it for my fixture.

I started QLC+, and added my fixtures to a project. this worked!

I saved the project and closed QLC+

I opened QLC+ again and tried to open my file, but it tells me "No fixture definition found for Rollrc Par 36 x 1W RGB Led Uplight".

The fixtures in my file have all been set to dimmers. I go to properties and I still see the RollRc fixture! I can even select it again and that light starts working again! But as soon as I try to save and reopen the project I loose all my fixture associations again.

Did I import the fixture incorrectly? What am I missing?

Thank you for your help!!

[moderator] not a QLC+ 5 question

You did it the wrong way. You need to use the user folder, not the system folder.
Take your time and read the documentation, especially this page:
