15.1.3 Improvements in v.4.0
Reverse shapes: Shapes can now be reversed on individual
fixtures in Shape Generator.
Fixture order for shapes: When a shape is applied to a
selection of fixtures it applies in the order the fixtures were
selected and phase then uses that order when spreading the
shape across the fixtures. The order of your fixtures can now
be changed after a shape has been applied by using the
[Fixture Order] option found in [Edit] within [Shape Generator].
Add and/or remove fixtures from a shape: New fixtures
can be added and existing fixtures removed from a shape
applied to a selection of fixtures and by accessing the
[Add/Remove Fixtures] option found in [Edit] within [Shape
Generator] and selecting the fixtures you wish to add and/or
remove in the Fixtures window.
Keystone and blade graphical control: Keystone and/or
blades of appropriate fixtures can be edited through a graphical
interface accessed from the [Attribute Editor] in [Open
Workspace Window]. Select keystone or blades from the
Attribute Control options in the window and then adjust by
selecting and dragging the corners or sides of the space
displayed.

item for which it is possible to set a text legend. Select [Select
Legend], select the item and then either select [Picture] or the
pencil icon on the virtual icon to open the drawing space.
Brush size, colour and erase are all available within the

change the size and position of that window and the button and
text size to be used within that window.
Using Autoload in Cue Lists: It is now easier and faster to
create an autoload step when recording a Cue List. Turn on
Autoload Live Playbacks in the [Advanced Options] menu within
Cue List Record; live playbacks are then recorded as Autoloads
when a Cue List step is recorded removing the need to create
blank steps and edit them to contain Autoloads.
Editing legends: When editing a legend the existing legend
appears in the display area of the keyboard for ease of editing.
Timecode clock: A new workspace window is available which
displays timecode as a digital clock including the ability to
select the timecode source, an enable/disable button and play,
pause and reset buttons for internal timecode.
