Hey Sonic. Try this. Your gonna have to do this for each switch but click on the switch to activate it then go to "Button" then "settings" (these are at the top of the program window they go as follows "controller> button windows language ?") then go to the bottom where it says switch and it is red. Look for a auto release and uncheck it. Here is a picture.

Let me know if that works.
Sincerely,

ok i tryed that. but i hit the next switch the 1 switch stays on but the light dosent the secound light comes on but switch 1 and 2 are on. it will let me do it on lights that dont spin with out having to go into setting and changing anything. its the profile you built for me the other day

the switch i want it to work in i built it in the easystep mode with 3 steps each step being a different vaule


here is one other thing that i just tryed if i make a copy of a regular button and then go into edit it the program ask me if i want to link it to easystep function to all the channels of the page if i pick no. i can keep the lights and buttons on but they dont spin. if i pick yes in back to the 1st problem

you need to create the switches using the channel off properties. Here is a video tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wzl1GWBe4A
The reason it is turning off the other fixture is because when you made your switch and used easy step you "turned on" all the other channels that you weren't using therefore when you hit that switch it is putting all the other values to where they are programmed in the switch which would be a value of "0". does this make sense?

Your gonna want to turn off the channels not being used by can 1 for the can 1 switch. then your gonna go to can 2 switch and edit it adn turn off the channels not being used by can 2 switch, etc. Did you watch the video? I may be on yahoo later after i take care of some calls.

The speed fader only applies if your using easy time. not easy step.
