When updating cues, the focus Palette's re-program there location ( Drifting position)

 

ie.  chan 21(whitch is a I-que attached to a S4)   live cue:23   chan21 @60 {enter}  {update} 

which sometimes.. moves the focus point and updates it at the wrong (X & Y Position)  without the user giving the command to updated the Focus point. only the dimmer %

any ideas? or suggestions

    Hi Kent,

    It sounds like you are making some manual changes made to the position of the iCues before you update a cue, thus updating the Focus Palletes.   By default, the console will update all referenced data in a cue, in addition to the cue itself, when you hit update and enter. 

    For example -- if you have a moving light that is currently in Focus Palette 2, Color Palette 14, and Beam Palette 4, and you change the intensity, focus, color, or beam, then update the active cue, you will update the cue and any changed palettes. Anything that references FP2, CP14, or BP4 will play back with the new values. 

    EDIT: Presets function in much the same way.

    You can change this functionality on a case-by-case basis by pressing Make Absolute (S2, or in the Update window that pops up), or altering the default functionality by going to Setup -> Desk -> Record Defaults.
