Beam Time for gobo change on Mac2k

Could someone please tell me the correct way to slowly change a gobo from one to another on a Mac2k Profile - using either the beam time in user mode, or editing the time in the cue editing window.

Working with the desk last night we could not figure out the correct way to do this.

We tried setting the time using the beam time with a cue time of 0s, and a time in the cue, we also tried changing the gobo time in the cue editor and changing the beam time in the cue editor - long story short, the gobo snaps to the next gobo no matter what we do.

Also tried using the encoder to set the gobos vs the gobo 'quick' selection.

    And I have to agree with Andris, the default paths for the gobo channels were set to linear and not start - but only in the spin mode, the slots mode they -are- set to start.

    Also in the conversation about M2K's I discovered the Mac III Profile will not slow fade from one gobo to another as Martin has made it impossible to do this, as it will cause problems with the gears in the gobo wheel from heat if the gobo's are left split for a while,

    They have rewritten M2K fixture software in the past to accommodate a slow roll from one gobo to another, however, I need to talk to someone at Martin to figure out if it will do it now.
