I usually do all the Design and Plot work in capture including circuits and wiring (I just used the distance tool beforehand), but I do all the additional calculations (load per circuit, Dimmer Hook Up, Voltage Drop) in Excel. My problem is all the wiring data I put into Capture are basically useless for this as there is no way to get them properly exported. Having all the cables exported as seperate elements in the fixture data would be a tremendous workflow improvement to me as it finally brid...

Hi! In default if I export xml file for MA2 all layer colors are translated to MA 'Fixture Color' property. Its super annoying 'couse 90 of times You have to bring it back to '255 255 255' to have layouts working properly. Is it possible to add additional tickbox that disable colouring of fixtures

Hey capture team, thanks for this nice show tonight showing the features of capture 2022! You made me very curoius with announcing the cablign tool, Will there be maybe as an upgrade or plugin version a cabling tool similar to vectorworks ConnectCAD. Looks like you have everything onboard, your sympbols (that moght be usercustomizeable) and cables and reports, so maybe think about to extend this tool to features like in connectcad! I would buy this upgrade directly, what about all use...

Hi!  Fast request for 2022. When I select for example 4 quantums and move slider of colour on one of them in new universe view, All selected fixtures should do the same.

I use custom gobos for a lot of corporative events and theatre productions. I edit the frame list and change any gobo for my custom gobo. The problem is when sometimes I use the same fixture whith my custom gobos for other productions. Now I need do the same proces... Find the fixture, Import my gobos, modify de wheel... If I can export the framelist I think is more faster.

Feature Request! The ability to link a channel to the camera controller in addition to just DMX address - then the ability for Capture to send back data via OSC when the camera view is changed in Capture, similar to how you can focus instruments.  Essentially it can be a pain in the ass to dial in the camera settings juuuuuuust right via DMX... much easier to pan/tilt/zoom/orbit in Capture. It would be amazing for that data to be two directional like it is for Pan/Tilt data on moving lig...

Hi, It would be really useful to be able to copy the focus of a fixture and paste the same focus information to another fixture. For example when working with a large rig and wanting to create a simple wash, it takes a long time to match all the fixtures zoom, shutter sizes etc when a simple copy and paste, then a few minor adjustments would be useful.

Hi, It would have been very interesting to have an open range for the throw ratio of the generic video projector. (maybe from 0.28:1 to  9:1) This could help to study different situatios and find which lens suits beter for the project. Bernat

Please add tree structure in layers for better organization of big projects with imported dwg witch has their own layers. Also shortcuts for patch, channel and circuit will be nice.

Hi! It would be great if we could have an easy and accessable way to scale pdf floorplanes after imported into the model.  something like , mesuring a distance between two points and giving them a value and the floorplan will scale accordingly Thanks!
