I have an Environment where to save Dimmer Channels Sometimes Multiple Fixtures are connected to the same Dimmer and as a result have the same DMX Address.

For better respresentation in the 2D View it would be usefull to have multiple Fixtures connected to the same Address.

If i try this QLC+ keeps saying the the address is already in use and its not possible. Is there any trick to achieve this?

I have exactly the same question. Have you found the solution?

Few ideas, which may help at least a bit:

- patch the other fixtures to unused universe and make scenes containing both real and fake fixtures
- use loopback plugin and universe passthrough somehow to copy values to the fake fixtures so that programming can stay the same (without fake fixtures)
- use another instance of QLC+ and DMX input (artnet?) + passthrough + faders to show the values
