You guys are awesome, thank you, now I can rotate my single lines :-)

"enh(gil)  Models that are copied will now display in the center of the screen."

Now we are taking the fun of hunt and find models in the lower left. HAHAHA!  Great enhancements and bug fixes.

Can you explain in better detail what exactly this means:

Add ability to configure e1.31 ouput to handle consecutive universes in one output

I thought that I already did that last year.  My Pixlite16 cards can do two universes per output on each of the 16 outputs.  (340 pixels) and last year I utilized that function. I used 336 pixels/output on each of the 16 outputs in my matrix.

Am I not understanding something correctly? Not sure what to think.

Thanks ---Greg--

Greg;

You have two ways to enter data into the SETUP tab now for E1.31

The old way;
Example
32 E1.31 universes of 510 channels starting on universe 1

Enter this and you get 32 rows in SETUP, one for each universe

The alternate way
32 E1.31 universes of 510 channels starting on universe 1
But this time check the bos labeled "One Output"

You now get one row , but it is labeled as Universe "1-32",
instead of 510 for the channels is is labeled "32x510" and the channel range will be "1-16320"

It is a shortcut for people who are approaching 100 to 200 universes
