fixtures to the programmer using either conventional fixture selection methods or by using the
"Load" function described below.
Once you have made your changes, you can press Update Enter or Update Update to update
the cue the original information was taken from. For more information on the Update function,

The "Load" command is extremely powerful and can be used to load complete groups and cues
or attribute groups or individual attributes of selected fixtures. Further, "Load" allows you to clone
the attribute values from one fixture to another fixture of the same type. Understanding how the
"Load" function performs is necessary in order to get the most out of the Maxxyz console. "Load"
differs from "Edit" in that where "Edit" will read information on attributes that have been recorded
with values in them, by default "Load" reads all of the specified base value attributes, whether
they are at a value or not.
a level (for example the attribute is in an active cue), then that value will be loaded into the

Normally used in Record to determine how attributes in the
programmer are saved to cues, the "Merge" and "Replace" buttons
have the same identical function in the Load Options window. That is
to say, attribute values will always be merged into the programmer.
These options determine which attributes are uses in a cloning
operation
In conjunction with the other filters, these filters determine what types
of attributes will be added
This group of filters acts to filter out specific attribute groups
These two buttons allow you to change the "default" behavior of Load
