Downloading fixtures.

• Show Buddy Active and DMXIS users: Select the required fixture in the Public fixture definition window and click on Download for Show Buddy Active or DMXIS. This will download a zip file to your computer. The zip file contains the ".dmx" file, which should be copied to your fixture library folder.
