Rotating position of lights on software???

Hi Guys,
I have spent ages creating some new programs for my 4 x Robe 150xt's.
I position the four heads on front edge of stage on floor + flight cases.
The problem I have come across is that I have created lots of good programs, but foolishly did this only using 3d viewer and without lights in situ. I have somehow not positioned lights correctly in 3d viewer, now have them all set up to test, all beams are 90 Degrees out (lights projecting off to side of stage not out front where I need them)
Question; I want to edit already existing progs back to editing software and simply rotate all beams by 90 degrees, Is this poss and if so how?
Got to be a simple answer or technique but cant suss it out.
Can anyone help please...?????

Hope my explanation of my C*ck Up is clear.

many Thanks

Goochie

Yep, you fucked up. :mrgreen:

Maybe you're helped with the FreeStyler setup->Preferences->Correction screen.
Here you can give a fixed correction for each DMX channel.
So, maybe you can enter some DMX correction value in all PAN fields of your fixtures.
But keep in mind, it might be impossible for them to reach PAN value 0.
Also, you'll have to create new sequences with that same error from that moment on. I think thats not that handy to do.

Not sure of other options, other than just remaking your sequences from scratch.

Yeah thought as much. Mant thanks for your reply and help.
Happy to start from scratchnow.
Just come accross another prob tho, whatever I do I cannot get lights to react the same as whats happening In 3D Viewer, the opposite is happening.
If I move lights to left on 3D they go right so on ect, have rotated lights on Veiwer, to no avail, every movement seems to happen 'mirrowed' if ya get my drift.
Again gotta be a simple solution somewhere??????
