Hello,
I have a question about Fixture Creator. Is it possible to make a simple ON/OFF switch instead of a dimming fader?

You could make a macro?

A possible solution is to set up a blackout group for your fixture or group of fixtures.
Now, add the fixture in the group number "X" and its done.

Also check your dimmer. Most of the dimmers I've used can be set to relay mode - ie. ON / OFF. Usually off is a low DMX value and on is high.
Also there are some very inexpensive mechanical relays available that respond to DMX. The only issue with these is there is a very small, but noticeable, delay between the device receiving the command and seeing the results of the command. This is due simply to the delay of the mechanics. This may or may not be a problem - that depends on the application.
If was for me. I built the piano for the musical BIG. The delay was noticeable from when the actor stepped on a key and the key lit up. I switched to the relay mode of the dimmers - they respond instantly.
