This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

• Programmer.Editor.Selection.GetSelectedHandles(“Windows.PatchView.Handles”) and Handles.SetSourceHandleRangeFromHandles(Windows.PatchView.Handles, true) make sure the repatch is performed with the currently selected fixtures
• Patch.Repatch.SetDmxAddressesFromSelectedFixture() sets the current properties (DMX line and channel)
• Patch.SetCurrentDmxAssignment(42.1) defines the new address (e.g. the first address where the fixtures are supposed to be repatched to)
• ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum(“Patch.Repatch.BunchUp”, “BunchUp”) sets the repatch mode
• Patch.Repatch.RepatchSelectedFixtures(true) performs the actual repatch, 'true' enforces to park conflicting fixtures
• Handles.ClearSelection() and Programmer.Editor.ClearAll(false, false) nullify the current selection

1. you may alter the target address (42.1) to your liking
2. make this macro available
3. if you need to quickly repatch some fixtures, select them and fire this macro
