Hi all.

Can someone tell me if it's possible to import a saved workspace into a workspace that I'm currently working on?
I have made about 150 different scenes for a new laser I acquired while I was testing & setting it up.
Now I want to add that to my existing workspace that has all my other lights programmed.
I really don't want to redo all 150 scenes if I don't have to.
Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards Ace.

It's not supported out of the box.

What you can do is to open the files in a plain text editor, and copy the relevant parts from one to the other.
The format is XML which is similar to HTML. You need to keep the structure and make fixture and scene IDs unique.
(if you have fixture with ID 1 in both files, you have to renumber one of them to new unused id. You need to change the number in all scenes that reference that fixture.
The same must be done for scenes etc.

Other than that, the format is pretty self-explaining.

Don't forget to keep backup copies of the original files in case something goes wrong.
