Fixture Home of Zoom / Edge

Question

Why is the home position for Zoom / Edge always full? Personally I think a center position (127 or 128 at 8bit) will more practical. Yes, I know - use the Home Preset. What did other users guess?

can i ask what fixture types you were seeing this with. i think i always saw zoom being minimal and a quick check confirmed that. 
 i patched the first 11 fixture types that came to my mind. Martin, High End, Robe, ClayPaky, JB. and they all do indeed have minimal zoom by default. 
 
 for me this always made sense since it easy to focus a fixture with minimal zoom. 
 and edge is "always wrong" anyway, don't see any better option there than to just always leave it at 0% as home value.

Uuuuuups, Ueli you're right. The DMX values are flipped in the Ranges setting, so the Patch>Fixture list is misleading. 
 Sorry for that stupid question.
