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.

    Yeah probably because of all the timing functions built into the VLs, the Martin's have this to a degree as well.

    I think the issue for most people is when they want to assign the fade time in the cue from the console rather than have the fixture calculate the time.

    When using the fixture's timing functions it is not a problem to use slots, but when you want to set the time in the cue then I've seen it as an issue....at least it used to be...unless it has been fixed somewhere along the way and I am still using old/bad programming habits.
