A number of users have reported to us that they are experiencing scaling issues when exporting MVR files to MA3 and VectorWorks. These issues occur with objects imported into Capture and objects from Capture's library that have a Drawing Unit set to something else than 1m. Following communication with MA and VectorWorks, it has been confirmed that this is a bug in both MA3 and VectorWorks - it is not Capture's MVR export that is faulty. Please await software updates from their end to resolve ...

Based on feedback from the last release we have compiled a helpful guide for all our users upgrading to Capture 2023. We have tried to gather all important changes in behaviour in that you need to be aware of: 2023 Upgrade Notes You can also find a link to it on our download page.

Now that MA Lighting have released grandMA3 1.6.3.7 which supports macOS 12 Monterey, we have also released Capture 2021.1.11 which reenables MA-Net3 plugins on macOS 12 Monterey. The MA-Net3 plugin version option in Capture now has a '(disabled)' option. If loading an MA-Net3 plugin causes a crash, Capture will automatically set this so you can start Capture again without loading the problematic MA-Net3 plugin.

As some of you may have noticed, and as you could read in the revision history, there was a change to the colour picker on macOS with Capture 2022.0.23.

We will be working on improving the new one more and then bringing it to both Mac and Windows in Capture 2023. Background - It turns out that the way we were using the colour picker (modally - blocking the application until you close it) is actua...

We were recently made aware of the fact that grandMA3 onPC is not compatible with macOS 12.0 Monterey. The same applies for the grandMA3 viz-key software, which means that it is currently not possible to use MA-Net3 on macOS Monterey. As a result of this, if you already had Capture 2021.1.9 and grandMA3 onPC 1.6 installed on your Mac and upgraded it to Monterey, Capture would crash on startup as the MA3 viz-key plugin was loaded. This prompted us to release Capture 2021.1.10 with support for ...

As you may have noticed, we are currently redesigning and reorganising the forum. This comes as part of a larger effort to improve our support and clarify what the expected response time should be for each support channel.  We are transforming the existing forums into community support forums where we encourage you to help eachother out and discuss creative ways of using Capture. We are also introducing this official announcement forum which we encourage you to subscribe to so you can stay...
