Auto Groups
When patching multiple fixtures, the console automatically creates
groups for you. A fixture type group is created which contains all
fixtures of the same type (for example, [All Mac 2000]). Another
group is created each time you patch a quantity of fixtures (for
example, [4 BB4].) This function can be turned off using [Auto
Groups] in the User Settings.
