It would be awesome to be able to specify a view’s model position. So you could specify that the “0” line of your model would appear in the centre of the view box. This would make lining up PLAN / FRONT / SIDE views on a print plot a lot easier. At the moment you just have to eyeball the position and get them somewhere near. My OCD means I want it to be perfectly lined up.

Having used this focus feature in WYSIWYG I sorely miss it in Capture. It seems strange to me you have the command to export the focus as seen through the lens for any or all lanterns, but haven't implemented it as a focus feature I know about and use 'Focus Selection', but its annoying having to navigate around the big selection box and the fixture itself to position the POV just in front of the lens, or to one side of the fixture. Also, the output of the focus sheets is a pretty basic bla...

The text size sets the channel annotation size. I'd much prefer to be able to independently set the size of the text in the Channel circle so as to have it a larger percentage of the general text size; you can already separate the channel annotation right out on its own, it looks like you should be able to alter it, but its not possible. thanks rabbit

Capture's plot window on the paper has similarities of function to paper space in AutoCad or Rhino. However, what these programs have which Capture lacks is an option to lock the scale. I find it too easy, once I have set the scale, to inadvertently lose it while working on the plot.  Thanks rabbit

certain led battens (like the chauvet pxl 16) have split zooms, where the zoom feature has more than one cell or instance. This is currently not supported by capture so zoom1 controls all zoom cells on the fixture.

The ability to have a customisable led tape, for example CV, RGB, RGBW, pixel density, diffusion and length, profile options would be nice also.As making them via texture generators is a bit dull!  So, for example, 5m RGB 60led per meter. Opal diffusion.

would be very useful to be able to add text/images/annotations directly in CAD view and not only in in the plot editor. it is a basic feature in most CAD programs...you could also expand it to something similiar to the 'callout' feature in vectorworks which is amazing.

Plot view I wish I could have the option to view the plot ortografisc type from the left, right, front, back, top, bottom when using Plot View and Plot Edit. The geometry can sometimes be confusing when only one side is visible. Currently, we can only choose the right side in Plot Edit, which may lead to misunderstandings.

Hello All, Working with movers is sometime a pain, when you want to combine Up and domwn movers to Rotators, In exemple, to simulate a screen wit 4 asserved Motors, you need to first add a X rotator, then assign it to a Y rotator, then assign this second one to a Y movers. Could we have just one mover, with 6 axis options X,Y,Z and Rot X, Rot Y, Rot Z, So you can patch only one axis or more, only the one you need for your project. Thank you

Can I import models from external software with all versions of Capture For example... Can I import from AutoCAD with ONLY the 2025 version
