Step 16: Place focus positions in your drawing.
Focus positions are useful for focusing fixtures
at a specific place in your plot. A focus position
defines a point in space at which fixtures are
pointed. You can place focus positions
anywhere in your drawing, and assign those
focus positions to fixtures. If you move the focus position, the fixtures will
automatically update their focus information.

and click OK. The new focus position will attach to
the cursor.

Step 17: Add lighting pipes to your venue.
When you hang lights in your drawing, they must be placed on a hang structure,
such as a pipe or a truss. The main difference between pipes and truss is that
pipes are drawn and trusses are library items. Other hang structures, like floor
bases, ladders and booms are also found in the truss library.
a. In the Layers toolbar, click the down-arrow and click Positions.
b. In the Draw menu, click Pipe.
