I started playing around with this last night but it takes up a lot of room having the channel and dimmer in line with the fixture.

THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed. I'm going to adjust the spacing on my plot and add measurements, as well as a note saying not to scale. Thankfully, I'm also the ME and have a humble crew of two IATSE electricians who know what they're doing and have worked the show before, so this is...

Thank you! Yes, I agree that it is best to put as much information on the plot as possible. This is the rep plot supplied by the venue that I've copied into a new document. One of the biggest issues has been with the noses being covered up, but they are color-coded on the original rep plot to...

Rotate them 90 degrees even for side light? I end up having LLs for every system and sometimes divide the system into SL/SR, like with side light.

Sorry, I'll attach a full file for you. I have ladders with high sides, head highs, 2 mids and shins. The spacing on the plot matches the rep hang so, in this instance, the plot and the hang are the same. I'm just phishing for better ideas for labeling instruments when they overlap with one...

I'm having an OCD situation and need advice on how to solve or overcome it. I'm using a rep plot that was designed by a well-known local designer and it has some pretty dense side lighting on the onstage electrics. It's not Broadway-level dense, but 90 instruments (five separate systems across...

Yeah, I was looking at this, too. But when you compare it to 602, you can see a difference between the two, especially around 50%. That's why I liked it so much.

Hey, they didn't exist when I was designing in the early- to mid-2000's and 2010's! :D LEDs are a sore spot. But I honestly don't know the answer to your question. I'm not sure whether they've just designed them to where they compensate for whatever the LED equivalent of amber drift is with...

It's REALLY funny you mention 711 because that's what I was considering before I stumbled across 600! I loved everything about the color but was reluctant to pull the trigger. But, based on that and the photo you shared, I'm going to use that instead of 600. I think the look I'm really wanting...

Right, I'm not looking for a true equivalent for my shins. I'm fine losing the L201 altogether for the L500, which is the equivalent of Double CTB L200. I rarely run my FOH past 50%, and that's one of the reasons I'm wanting to lighten those from L110/R68 to L506/L712 (for comparison, the rep...

You bring up a really good point with the transmission curve. I noticed it does have an astoundingly low transmission of 8.7% for a color that appears fairly light in photos. But I think I forgot about that because I'm so enamored with an idea that may not be realistic. I'm not super concerned...

Thank you! I hope it will spur some discussion... because I need help! I was actually just thinking about the future (or lack of) for color when I started working on this, but I think it's going to be around for a while. Think of all of the schools and churches and community theatres that will...

I've been LD and TD for an annual children's dance production of a Nutcracker variation for 10 years now. I haven't really changed the color from my original design but a lot of it is starting to burn out. I was initially just going to replace the color but decided I wanted to lighten up the key...

If you convert it to a Group>Convert All Sub-Groups then it works. One problem solved. Thanks!

With the data exchange map, is there a way to edit the current one, or do I have to start all over again? It doesn't let me click on anything in the current exchange map.So if it's inserted as a lighting instrument, can it be changed to an object? I can't find any way to do that.Thanks for...
