To enter the Solo command in the command line, press ![ma](/img/dot2/ma_1-85eed0.png) + Highlt or type **Solo** or the shortcut **So** in the command line.

## Description

The Solo command forces the dimmer attributes of all unselected fixtures to zero. Only the selected fixtures will have an intensity output.

This function is often used to focus gobos or to position fixtures.

**Hint:**\
It is possible to protect fixtures against Solo. To do so disable React to Master in the Patch and Fixture Schedule.

For more information on **React to Master** see the [Patch and Fixture Schedule](/dot2/key_window_patchandfixtureschedule/). 

If Solo is on, Highlt starts to blink and the Solo symbol is displayed in the message view ![](/img/dot2/dot2_icon_solo_v1-4-8a1ac8.png). 

**Important:**\
If only a few fixtures are selected, the event location will go black.
