some values ​​of the fixtures such as positions and macros or effects, when I deactivate the scene do not return to zero, creating problems with the next scene. how come ?

Likely all these are LTP channels?

LTP means "last takes precedence", and those channels/attributes are expected to stay at the value unless new information arrives.
This is useful for everything except intensities (dimmer and color channels) - normally you want a fixture to keep position, beam, focus, gobo etc. until you tell it to change.

You'll have to include these explicitely in the scenes where you want them to go to zero, or change them to be HTP in the channel modifier dialog or directly in the fixture definition. This may impose different problems tough, try it out to see if that suits you.

thank you very much for the very good answer, now i understand why this is so. I will try to activate the channel even in the scenes where no ds code is needed, start it at zero Thanks
