QuickQ - I can't find a fixture when I try to Patch

Hints:
#1. You can get very good control of most LED fixtures using a fixture with a smaller DMX foot print than the actual DMX channel count, here is an example.
Actual Fixture: MyFixturetoday model, Ineeditowork mode.
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Amber
- Lime
- UV
- Dim
- Strobe
- Control some other thing
- Functions of some type
- Parameters of some other type
Use a Generic 6 chan RGBALUV. Patch each fixture 1 at a time and use DMX #12 for the 2nd fixture and 25 for the 3rd, etc....You will have full control of this fixture using the generic and can dim it and use the inbuilt QuickQ FX for strobes.
#2. You can patch the number of dimmers in the DMX channel count to at least get some output on stage. This is also useful if you need to work out what channel does what on the fixture because you have no information on the fixture at all.
