So, how do we do it….well, it’s pretty easy. Sit down at you computer and
1-
Grab hold of a disk with the userlib.txt file on it.
2-
If you don’t have a disk with the file labeled userlib.txt You can create it in one of two ways.
First way: . To create the file, from the Main Menu press F1 : storage, then press F1 (again) :
Objects. This will now give you a screen with 6 options.
F1 : save library
F4 : load library
F2 : save fixtures
F5 : load fixtures
F3 : save show
F6 : load show
You need to put a disk into the drive and Press F7. Okay just kidding. You need to press F1.
The CP-100 will now automatically create, on your disk, the file called “userlib.txt”. You will
use this in your computer to create your very own personal fixtures.
Second way : Simply create a new text file and label it as “userlib.txt”. (in Windows it’s
“right-click”- “NEW”- “TEXT FILE”).

Open up the userlib.txt file in your computer and
