Losing Fixtures (homing up)

I just setup a show with the new software 3.0.0 and as I was wringing out the system I noticed that I would have to grab and shake some fixtures before they would "Home" down. At one point I went away for about an hour and when I came back about half the rig was homed up again. The units immediatly find themselves if either pan or tilt is touched. Is this some kind of DMX hickup I am getting with the new software? Nothing else on this system has changed so I am not sure what else this could be.

I am using a Whole Hog III with Playback Wing and 2 External Monitors and a DP 2000 with the following fixtures patched;
12 Mac 2k Profiles
12 Mac 2k Washes
12 575 Studio Spots
12 575 Studio Colors

This problem is not isolated to any one type of fixture. I am routed through an Iso Splitter on each of the three moving light universes in the DP 2000 but I have never had this problem with this system before. Any suggestions?

    Hi all..


    im getting this issue as well when using Change Fixture type, and My Highlite pallette also blocks the shutter function... this is a real pain as im in the Balatics changing type every day.... and the only way to work around this is to Change type, and HARD RESET all DP and Desks... the reload the show...

    seem to be the last unit in the group of units i have changed type in... so if i change 101 > 104 from Mac 700 to 2k Spots, unit 104 will home up... you have to grab it again from time to time to awaken it..

    Also change Martin TW1 to Mac 2000 Wash (601 > 606)... if i bump them to line up with HIGHLITE pallette... then i lose control of 604 and maybe 605. again Full Hard Reset... get me going again.

    Tom, Chris, Show file is James Blunt Arena - any of the Canada or European Files will be the same....

    or shout if you need it sent.

    i think someone else has reported problems with change type on 3.1.. but im on a late load in... so typing quickly....
