# 3. Export Fixture Types and GrandMA Patch

The third step consists in exporting your lighting fixture show data in XML format from the light console.

## 3.1. Export Fixture Types

1. Select the project fixture types in the menu {Setup > Patch and Fixtures > Fixture Types}.
2. Select the first item in the Fixture Types list and then click on the \[Export] button using the “Only XML” option from the Choose Style menu.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the fixtures types contained in the list.

By default, the grandMA will have exported each fixture type in a separate .xml file on the USB stick.
