Trying to add 2 signs to AUX A. 
1 16 channel AC controller 

2 dumb controllers 

all on aux A

i added the signs to the preview. 
turned them Both on in the grid.

there is no option to append to view.

everything else is working fine.

So, what was the solution - so others might find out.

when I added my Pixies, I never actually "ADDED" the pixie controllers. S4 adds controllers.

Up to now, I only added the row after creating the preview....

I Added my AC channels (just the channels) that i am using to the preview (signs). and just turned them on in the grid...

 

while test running my show last night,,, they would not work all the time.....

Since i added the controller..... all are working fine....

I don't think I have ever added a controller in S3, S4, or S5.  I have always added channels (or RGB channels) in S4 & S3, and in S5 Preview Editor, I also add the channels as opposed to adding controllers.  As far as I am concerned, it is far easier that way as it makes organization easier.

Without a doubt! I agree! It was one of the things that I loved. But was getting inconsistencies last night, And it’s working now.

Some of us can do that with the channels. However every single person I have helped that tried it with a pixie failed because of the hexidecimal numbering system.

Not long ago I tried to delete channels as a test , that I wasnt using. The entire controller did not work. That was AC controller.

You should remember my first attempt at a ccr tree. LOL

I learned a ton from you in just that one prop.

If someone doesn't understand the unit assignment system it goes down hill fast.
