Embedded palettes for focus parameter?

Hey Guys,
whats the best way to insure that I always have a sharp beam when dealing with positions vs gobos? There are a few posts on here about it, but I'm still a little confused.

do you make a focus palette for every position? are they embedded? do you make a focus palette for every gobo?
How would you update those palettes? load the position palette and the focus palette at the same time?

    Hey! Doing pretty good, thanks for your response. You're english is great.

    Can I change the function type in an existing show? meaning, when I change the function of focus from =b to =f will it work that way when I load the show into the console, or will I have to start a new show?


    I'm not understanding the second part, about gobos. Here's the situation, lets say I have 2 positions - one on an upstage curtain and one fan out over the band. In my position palette I can save the focus and it will change from one position to the other keeping the beam sharp.
    Now, I want to add a gobo to this scene, and I want to keep it sharp. This will require two different focus settings (one for the curtain and one for the fan out) especially with a glass gobo.

    Are you saying to load the gobo, adjust the focus and save it as a position palette? How do you work that into programming a cue if you are already using a position with focus?
