When a new library is installed on Eos either from a software update or a separate fixture library file from the ETC website, changes in library data will not automatically update your show files. This is to prevent library changes from affecting a functional show file.
Using the {Fixtures} softkey in patch will open up the list of fixtures used in the current show file. In this view, you will be able to tell which fixtures in the currently loaded show file differ from the console’s fixture library. Fixtures that have either been edited or their profile does not match the current library will display with an "*" beside their name. For fixtures that have a library update, the {Update Profile} softkey will display in white, and for fixtures that don’t have an update, the {Update Profile} softkey will be grayed out.
Note: When updating a fixture in Patch, a warning message will display that includes what changes will be made to the fixture by updating it. Press {Ok} to update the profile or {Cancel} to return to the fixture editor.
Note: For multi-console systems, all devices have to use the same fixture library. If the fixture library is different between devices, a warning will be displayed on the device trying to connect to the system.
