Cloning is used to add fixtures to the rig which are supposed to behave the same as an existing fixture or fixtures. This becomes useful when rigs grow or change over time… Dirty show files are full of clutter and mismanaged data. If two fixtures get cloned to 12 fixtures, then a single hard value will be multiplied by six. If you are preparing to clone your show, please take time to open a tracking sheet and repair any raw values before the clone. This will save you time in the long run.
