Focusing for Gobos vs positions

I'm kind of confused about the focus parameter. I update the focus in each of my position palettes. But during a show if I use a gobo, it's not in focus, so I started also updating the focus in my gobo palettes. But this doesn't seem to work.
What is the best way to make sure you've always got a sharp beam and sharp gobos?

Also, In the control panel - what happens if you select 'record focus parameters seperate?"

thanks!

    Hi j,
    I suggest recording the gobo focus information in the "BEAM" pallette.
    I would keep my pan and tilt information in the "FOCUS" pallette.

    if your running the console in tracking mode the gobo information stored in the first cue with gobo information should in a normal situation track thru the cue's until that information is changed or overidden by another cue or cue-list.

    Do not confuse focus (pan/tilit) with gobo focus (sharp or soft edge) they are not the same thing.
