Change Type accuracy

Hi Maybe can someone can tell me why some fixtures seem to work better when using this feature.
Recently changed fixture types a few times and am getting very mixed results changing from mac profiles to varilites?

I understand fixed colour wheels versus CMY fixtures won't work but even simple position pallettes were so far out as to be almost not worth having.
I didn't have tilt inverted or anything and all the studio colours i had changed type perfectly......

Any tips to make this happen in a more a graceful way would be good.

    Hi brad,
    Ok understood i always under the impression that if after changing type i then updated the palettes i would have an updated show but having to reload every cue is just another step i suppose.
    Is there any way to avoid this?

    I used to have a show clone macro in hog II and i would manually load every used palette before the macro was loaded which would mean the new fixtures would have a referance point to clone from,would it be possible to do something similar with change type....could i add one fixture in the patch update the palletes and then change type..
    perhaps i'm missing the point here and should just limit the show i have to something using fewer pallettes.

    going to look at the "fan" thing again tomorrow so i can explain better.

    Regards C
