I and My Client has a problem. We want to fill objects to color (like stage deck, chairs etc.), but I can’t found how to do this. Support said it's impossible to create a 'custom view' in draw/plot. Is there a way to add this, or some alternative way to generate plots/drawings with the desired solution

An option to Auto Update the Date in Plots and Reports would be great. Maybe update when opened or so.

I would love to be able to place a generic hoist item in my workspace, to estimate how much clearance I need to leave from roof beams, grid etc for my design. Ideally this is represented by the Rigging Plot symbols in the overhead plot but is clearly visible on a section or perspective view, with variable chain lengths to assess trim heights, and changeable properties to account for different hoist types in reports etc The main purpose of this rather than becoming an all in one rigging...

Hello,  Zooming on a exported PDF plot, it's a pain on large projects, because even if you print it with a small weight, like 0.3, this is difficult to read informations on zooming, and le lines are a bit crappy. But on the screen, on paper view, every lines are vectorised, so it's readable and look pretty. Can we please, look into a real vectoriesed PDF like other cad lighting plots can do Thank you to consider, it will be a game changer on large plots.

Computers are very good at counting, Capture is still a bit shy to admit it can.  Could we add some counting magic to Capture - How many fixtures in a selection - How many objects in a selection - How many objects in a group - How many dmx addresses in a selection - How many objects on a layer - How much weight in a selection  This is all usefull information to make available at a glance. Maybe in a statusbar, maybe in selected items, maybe in a new to be created inf...

To whom it may concern: I noticed that when importing an MVR my unit number is mapped, but my 'position' is not mapped. In the United States lighting field, particularly in theater, we use the 'position' to mean the 'location' of the fixture. So the first electric (a batten on stage) would have a unique unit number per position, but not per plot. The 'uniqueness' depends on the combination of the two fields. That's about as close to a UUID as possible in the workflow for most of our theaters....

With plenty of fixtures able to push a single shutter all the way across the beam it would be very useful to be able to visulise this accurately

Hello, Can we please have more custom colors for layers, especially for large projects. 12 is not enought. Thank you

Hello,  Can we have the ability to choose the categorie of a object/truss/fixture ofr reports in a project. Just for example, Smoke machine like MDG Atme or others, are reported on 'Fixture' Categories tab, but for me it's more 'visible' and understandable to put on 'Other' categories. Same thing for Flams Blazers by Magic FX etc.... Thank you to consider.
