Hi! It would be great if we coulkd have the option to insert text onto the CAD view and not only to plot's. will help alot when exporting DWG/MVR and such to client's/LD's and others. Thanks!

Capture has the weight informations for fixtures in its library but I think these informations are bit 'underused'. I think they are in the fixtures export which is fine, but I'd love to be able to show the informations on a plot. Additionally this would mean that we would need an option to set weights on other objects that are not fixtures to really take advantage of the function.

Is there / Can there be a way that on cable reports, we can specify length parameters For instance, with DMX cable... Anything under 5 feet, get's put on the report as a 5 foot cable. Anything between 5 foot and 10 foot get's listed as a 10 foot cable.  Between 10 foot and 25 foot get's listed as a 25 foot cable and so on... -Rob

I would like to see an option to drag and drop addressing DMX mapped textures or a batch patch option for this. Manually addressing dmx textures takes a lot of clicks. The abbility to address them like normal fixtures would be a big time saver.

I would like to suggest an option for 180 degrees or 360 degrees fixtures. For Example Astera AX1 or similar LED Tubes.  We have a lot of designs with 2meter long 360 degrees LED tubes which does not simulate well in Capture.  I know I can make a cylinder and map a RGB Texture to it but with 500 LED Tubes it is a lot of work and it makes Capture slow.

Hello, Would it be possible to filter by 'fixture location' or 'fixture groups'. Explanation bellow: Usually I separate my fixture types with my layers like this : 'Conventionnals', 'Spot', 'Wash 1', Wash 2', 'Beam', 'LED', 'Strobes', 'Conv FX', 'AtmoFX'. This way I can display all of those with different colors when I plot. Using the venues universes, I can't always have separate universes for what I want to isolate (eg: ground package). Doing so I get stuck when I want to plot...

Just a basic few points on plots after using. Bold marks my key points, also easily addable I think. Add ability to move selected item with arrow keys (maybe by milimeters or based on zoomlevel) Add ability to position relative or absolute in mm. Some need exact numbers and a wobbly mouse is inaccurate. Then you could also snap to an item, then move away from it with relative position to create nice even space thru all plots. Have some base anchor points available, first item has no sn...

it would be really usefully to lock a View to a 2d plane, possibly via the Project->View Tab for a certain view. And then indicating in the view the Plane is locked with a locked symbol or a text. I find myself accidentaly moving in 3d space when i just want to pan. this might be because i use a lot off diffrent software with diffrente behavior. When designing a stage i usually have two 2d plot views and one in 3d space. there is already the distinct snap to a 2d plane, which i really like...

It would be fantastic that you could store looks from the Live view somewhere. Also it would also be very good that current look (values from fixutre, LED screen etc) in Live view saves with the file when you save it, so if the computer or software crash you can come back to the look you where working on before that crash and you dont have to start from scratch again.

The new fixtures view in the Universes tab is fantastic. Would love to be able to adjust the sliders there as well as in the control pane using the mouse wheel when hovering over the thumb control or perhaps with a modifier key.
