How to change the phase of a Pro dimmer in software?

Today I ran across something weird. Not sure if I'm seeing it, or it's a bug. In my case I was going to change a dimmer that I accidentally put as a Pro to a 6ND dimmer. I thought it'd be as easy as going to the pull down menu and picking 6ND, but it told me that the 6ND dimmer was not reverse phase and I couldn't change it. Well, I didn't want to change the phase anyway but no matter what, I couldn't change the dimmer type without getting the error and the only solution was to delete the dimmer and put in 6ND. This would be a huge hassle if you already did all the programming and had to delete the load and put in a new dimmer and redo the programming with every scene that used the dimmer.

So now I'm wondering how I would even change the pro dimmer from Reverse to Forward phase? In Ra2, it'd be under advanced settings but I couldn't find it in the Designer software. Any idea where it's at? Hopefully it's possible because Reverse phase doesn't work with MLV loads.

Sparky, this is a screen shot that shows how to customize the columns displayed from the designer tab (Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the forum image tools or I would make the inline image large enough to read; if you click on the image it becomes readable). For some reason the default columns that are displayed do not include the phase control setting and the load type. To access the pull-down menu, right click on the "Customize Columns". Customize columns only shows up when you click on the device locations area of the window.



Then you can select the load types and phase control.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes! I was missing that column! Thank you.
