Hello Capture team, Is it possible to convert the orientation of fixtures (pan & tilt value) from MVR to XYZ rotation when importing into Capture so that focused spotlights from other programs are imported correctly into Capture I sometimes work with large numbers of fixtures in Vectorworks, and when I port them to Capture, the entire alignment is lost. Or perhaps it would be possible to adopt the concept of focus points in Capture, but there has already been a post about this here. Max

Sequential : Being able to open multiple options at the same time... Unit, Channel, Patch... Maybe open them all at once And fill them all in at once.

I have been told that this is not possible at the moment (I have 2024 Duet, but people tell me it is not in 2025 either), but I would like to request that the ability to remotely change scenes in Capture *without* using DMX be added in a future release. The situation: I use either a Chamsys console or a Chamsys PCWing setup for all my lighting work. When programming I sit in my studio with Capture projected on the wall at the end, giving me a near life-sized view of the virtual st...

Please add the ability to give individual fixtures a colour identification. This would need to allow split colours - for example yellow/green horizontal lines (earth tape) plus an additional colour Earth Red for example. This information would need to be avaliable in reports and optionally plots in an appropriate container.

Position Rotation Anchor : When clicking on the symbol with the arrows in the Rotation Anchor, in the Position Rotation Anchor, in addition to fill in the data, provide pre-established options, such as : (x0); (y0); z(0); (x0,z0); (x0,y0); (z0,y0); (x0,y0,z0).

It would be extreamly helpful to have a truss tape feature to eleminate the need to have to upload mvr in to a whole other software to prepare/print tape..It does not have to have fancy features, just needs to work with receipt printers, and print out the information thats already there.  I have seen some questions and request on facebook about this topic and feel like it would be a great feature to add. I tried to search the forum to see if anyone posted about this already and I did not find an...

Hi. It would be nice to also see the P3 ID as a colum under 'Fixtures'. Makes it easier to spot ID mistakes. At the same time, it would be nice if I could rearrange the colums, and choose what colums that are visible. All the best. Johan

What often bothers me: Your dimmer channel is displayed from 0DMX = 0 to, for example, 127DMX = 100. In reality, however, it is often different, for example  0-5DMX = 0,  which means that the lamp is already switched on in the visualisation, even though it is not yet lit in reality. I would also like to see a correction function here. Greetings Rebecca Röder

We have come up against an issue when transferring fixture data between capture files, whereby we can export all fixture data including filters/GOBOs but when we import the file exported, we have no option of importing these fields

Please implement (an option to have) dmx addresses always as three digit numbers such as 001, 010 and 100. This is really important when exporting the data for manipulation in spreadsheets. Currently it is a mess when sorting as the numbers will not align sequentially. Hopefully the spreadsheet grab shows the problem ordering  1, 15,151, 205 when the order should be 1, 15, 29, 43, 97 working down through the universe. 8.1 8.15 8.151...
