I was wondering if there is a way to rotate the top view in the plot to help fit it in the page better. Also I noticed that the top view has symbols but they are all pointing the same direction as opposed to pointing where they are focused in Polar. Is there any way to get the symbols on the plot to match where they are focussed in Polar?

Okay I figured out the printing problem I was having. I am still confused why the symbols in paper view don't match the angle in CAD view.

Hi stagedude,

The plotting part of Capture is one of the less understood - I suppose it's a bit cryptic.

The idea is that any fixture symbol can be manually adjusted, both rotated and moved, when you are in a 2D Paper Mode view. When you do so, the fixture's actual position or focus will not be affected. This is ideal for when you need to tweek the position of symbols when fixtures are close to eachother or stacked. Unfortunately all symbols point in one direction by default and you will have to rotate them manually. This is about to change with the next release, where all symbols will automatically be rotated in the correct direction!
