Hi guys! Big fan of the software and it's features. but one I would really appreciate to have, is to have some visualisation of state of the art movinglight wash fixtures with internal FX patterns, like the ROBE spiider or JB sparx, MacAura etc. Honestly I don't expect to have every correct pattern on each fixture, but it would make pre-programming shows with this kind of fixtures at the studio so much more confortable, when having at least 'something to see', without the need to have the ...

It would be super handy to have a checkbox to autoupdate the symbol key on Plots

Hello! I'm requesting an auto-refresh feature for reports whose items are being edited. Perhaps a button that, when pressed, closes and reopens the report with the newly made changes.

Hi Folks I would like to be able to customize the plot annotation. I would like to use this to make my plots easier to understand. because currently the only way you can customize is by moving the annotation around. I want to be able to insert a custom image and overlay my fixturedata on top. similar to the image below. I would love to see something like this implemented in a future update. Greetings, Sytse Lauwen

Hello! Some option changes only happen after a software restart. Perhaps, in addition to the warning, could you add another option RESTART NOW Cheers, Oz

Report Items Various requests: 1. The symbol shouldn't have an automatically scalable size; instead, it would have to be treated like other objects in the library, keeping its size and distances fixed. 2. The Unit should appear in plot mode. 3. Redistribution of the order of report items as follows: patch - circuit - rating - weight and then the multiplier. 4. The multiplier should automatically correct the rating and weight. Thanks in advance!

An essential part of designing and building a show file is the dynamic knowledge and construction of the lighting over time, but there seems to be a reluctance within Capture to provide even simple the tools for this. When I’m designing I don’t care what console the show will eventually be run on; I have little to no control over it anyway, and as the designer I’m not going to be programming or operating it. Especially what I don’t need or want is a complicated full on computer based v...

Hi, lately I've been creating some plots and I started to take versioning of my reports, plots and project files more serious. I was wondering if its is possible for exports project files to create new files with automatic created names and maybe folder structure based on variables, asked support and they suggested me to make a post here. What I am trying to achieve (on windows): Project files: {RootDir}\project\{year}_{month}_{project}_{version}.c2p Plots: {RootDir}\export\{yea...

Hi, I've recently been finding myself having to integrate custom LED systems into lighting designs. I not only use Capture for previz, but also heavily lean on it for plots and reports, including power calculations. For custom LED systems with LED drivers, I usually use the 'Omnidirectional Bulb' fixture (with custom symbols) to add these into plots and make sure they show up on reports correctly. One downside, which has been confirmed to my by customer support over e-mail, is that the omnidi...

Hello, do you think it's possible to add the weight of the cabling to a truss Or at least integrate a percentage of the total load corresponding to the weight of the cabling on the truss into the load calculation  The goal is to be as precise as possible when calculating loads. Thanks
