This is used to make a fixture do exactly what another fixture is doing. If fixture number 1 is used in some groups,
presets and cue list, then it can be a hassle if you need fixture number 5 to do the exact same tings. You would
have to manually check where fixture 1 is used and then re program fixture 5 to do the same. Clone can help you
with this.
When you clone something you are often presented with some options on screen 1.
'Cancel' is used to cancel the clone operation.
'Low Prio Merge' is the default option. It means Low priority merge. It will only clone the values from fixture 1
when there's a values and where fixture 5 doesn't have any values already - it doesn't destroy any already existing
programming for fixture 5.
'Merge' will clone all the values from fixture 1 into fixture 5. If Fixture 5 had something programmed where fixture
1 also had something, than the values will be the same as fixture 1. If Fixture 5 have something programmed that
fixture 1 doesn't , then these values will stay.
'Overwrite' will delete all existing values for fixture 5 and clone the values from fixture 1.
Here's some examples:
In your entire show you need fixture 5 to be a copy of fixture 1 and what fixture 5 had isn't needed anymore:
+ Copy (gives you the Clone command)
In executor 3 you need fixture 5 to be a copy of fixture 1 and what fixture 5 had isn't needed anymore:
+ Copy (gives you the Clone command)

In executor 3 you need the fixtures in group 2 to be a copy of fixture 1 and since we are not completely sure if the
fixture in group 2 is used already, then we should do a Low Prio Merge :
+ Copy (gives you the Clone
command) Fixture 1 At Group 2 If Exec 3 Please
