hi!
i have a rather confusing problem.

running dmxis 1.1.1 on mac osx10.6.3
sucessfully.

but i can't find the dmx fixture library anywhere.
i've spotlight searched for every part of that, as well as looked thru
the file tree for
library/application support/ enttec/etc
but there is no enttec folder on my computer.

am i missing something simple?
or should i reinstall?

i have fixtures available to me that i built and added myself to the
fixture library on my other computer, so i have at some point linked
to a library different from the default downloaded one.

but that hasn't helped me find the thing. (ie, not in my dropbox
folders or shared drives)

?

thanks

I read your post... I'm having trouble adding a fixture to the fixture
library too... except my prob is i don't know how to build one.. It's
for a Chauvet Scorpion Sky laser...
i have the manual as well... any chance i can get you to either add
it for me or show me how?

On OSX, the DMXIS library is always located here:

   Macintosh HD : /Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS/DmxLibrary

If DMXIS is starting up OK for you, then this folder MUST exist.

There are two different "Library" folders in OSX, perhaps that is the source of the confusion. There is a global Library folder (click on "Macintosh HD" in the Finder, then click on "Library") and your user Library folder (click your user name in Finder, then click on "Library"). All DMXIS files are stored under the global Library folder.

samuriasin : you can use the online fixture editor to create your own fixture files, see this post:
