Jerry how come you just don't program a bunch of scenes with those pan and tilt settings where you want them. The function of the X/Y in page settings is to limit the area that the pan and tilt will go or not go. Another good option to have is if you have a scene that sweeps the dance floor and you get to a new venue and you want to adjust the size you can turn on the live toolbar button and that will allow you to set the size dimmer and speed of any of the scenes on that fixture page. right click on the blue upper title bar on your fixture page (where it says the name e.g. vizi spot led) and select live tool bar button. Let me know if you understand this.

Side note: This is fixed in the next generation of compu live software called "Compu Show" it lets you set up position palettes.
Sincerely,

So if I understand you correctly, I create a scene to shine on the ceiling. But won't the pan & tilt I set earlier for the other scenes control the ceiling scene and make it shine down on the dance floor with the other scenes????

It could if you limit the pan and tilt range to just the dance floor in the Page settings> channel> X/Y. Which is why I don't really use that feature. If I want to limit my pan and tilt I will program them that way. What you could do is reset your X/Y settings that way you have a middle ground for if you want aerial scenes or dance floor scenes. Make sense? Let me know.
Sincerely,

"reset" meaning what? Is there another way to make scenes without using the fixture page. Do the xy not affect the other scenes if you do not use the fixture page?

Reset meaning go back into the X/Y setting and expand your area for pan and tilt. The X/Y effects the ENTIRE pan and tilt range of all the fixtures that you limited in that X/Y window when you set it up to only shine on the dance floor.
Sincerely,

I'll setup a ceiling scene tomorrow and adjust the pan & tilt and see if when I come back to that scene if it will shine on the floor and have the same xy as everything else has.

Thanks

Setup a scene and pointed both fixtures to the ceiling thru page and had the ceiling scence open.

When I went to any of the other scenes they were all on the ceiling. I only want the ceiling scene up there. Am I missing something on the xy

Are you using the Take buttons? Or the X/Y settings in the page settings?

No idea what or where a "Take" button is or does. Help I have been using the xy

From these pictures. which one have you been using to
A) limit your pan and tilt range?
B) Create positions to be used in scenes or over ride on the fly?
Take buttons:

Page Settings X/Y:

Please let me know.
Sincerely,

The one circled "XY" page, settings, channel, xy

What is the "Take" you mentioned earlier?

Ok. what that function does is it limits how far your fixtures can pan and tilt. And it effects ALL scenes in the page. You will NOT be able to pan or tilt outside of the area that you adjust in the large red square. This can be good and bad. If you mis-calculate your settings you will not be able to hit certain marks. I personally never use this setting.
The "Take buttons" are the buttons in the picture I posted above. (Large grid with buttons labeled 1-8) These generate automatically on every fixture page if there are pan and tilt channels. what you do is click on say 1 and it will move fixture one's pan and tilt on that page. you have a number icon for each fixture you have patched in that fixture page. The take buttons are used to either over ride your pan and tilt position on the fly or to set up your positions when programming scenes based off the fixture page.
Let me know if this helps clear up any confusion. Also let me know if you have any more questions.
Sincerely,

I only had one photo insert, the on xy, the other is a box with a "X" in the top left corner. Maybe you could email the other photo?
