Fixture Symbols

From the second tab, fixture symbols can be placed on a magic sheet. The symbols can be tied to a channel number. Information about that channel can be displayed with the symbol, such as intensity, FCB data, and error indicators. See MS Object Properties on the customizing options available.

Importing Fixture Symbols

Additional fixture symbols can be imported. The symbol must be saved as a .svg image file, and needs to be tagged properly. These tags can be linked to the channel’s color, intensity or both.

The outline section needs to be tagged as etc_symbol_outline0, etc_symbol_outline, and / or etc_symbol_outline2. The base section needs to be tagged as etc_symbol_base0, etc_symbol_base, and / or etc_symbol_base2. Tags can be layered, and they will render in the order listed below:

• etc_symbol_base0 - uses fill color intensity link (not color)
• etc_symbol_base - uses fill color and intensity link
• etc_symbol_base2 - uses fill color intensity link (not color)
• etc_symbol_outline0 - uses outline intensity link (not color)
• etc_symbol_outline - uses outline color and intensity link
• etc_symbol_outline2 - uses outline intensity link (not color)

Tags that only link to intensity will cause the base or outline to dim based on the channel’s intensity.

The edits to the tags in the .svg file can be made in any text editor program, such as Notepad, or in a .SVG editor program, such as Inkscape.

See Magic Sheet Icon Library for import steps.
