Our experience on the ground is limited, so it is not 100% clear for us.

Please tell in a few words what you exactly need.
(usually, the shortest is the explanation, the more clear it is.)

And if you have an idea, how you suggest to implement that function in the software.

Hi support-

The request is to have a screen section inside each fixture when you edit the fixture to default the Pan and Tilt value to a value other then 0 when the program starts up. When no scenes are enabled, the fixture's Pan and Tilt will go to those values as a default. Other programs refer to this feature as a "home position."

The second request is to take the offset feature found in the generator, and use it on a global level as an "always on" menu item in the edit fixture as a constant change to offset the values in scenes. When enabled, whatever value you put in this menu for the pan or tilt channel is added or removed to the value in any scene. This is a more complicated request but it would allow users to have more control over fine tuning differences in fixtures where the pan and tilt do not line up. There are complicated workarounds for this, but having the ability to make minor adjustments in the pan and tilt as a constant change default to all scenes would save a lot of trouble programming.

An example of this is if I have two fixtures that are identical and I program a position in a scene but fixture #1 is not as straight as fixture #2 all the time, I can edit fixture #1 to be +2 on it's pan for every scene. When the software sends out DMX signal, it automatically add's +2 to every PAN channel value that is sent out so that fixture is straight with fixture #2.

Thank you for your explanation.

Two requests for two different sections, in one topic, is not clean.
We have divided your post into two new posts (in "Live Buttons" and in "Generator").
And we close that topic.
Please go in the two other topics for further communication.
