hello capture library ,i wanted to ask for OB Van Truck since we have vehicles in our library it would be nice to add the ob van since we use it almost in every project and include it on the general plan of the project

So I don't know what to call it but..  when you have a selection there's a row of tools in red under the sleection.   On the left is the 'selection' icon,  then the 'setting' icon,  the copy icon, then on the right there's little 'info' icon.    When you press this button it gives you all kinds of info like:  Channels, Total weight, total power etc...    can we please have a 'total DMX channels' line added to this   When I go to auto patch it shows me the total number of channels needed t...

Hello  Following up on the question I asked during yesterday’s webcast (06/18/25) about “assigning sequence by location”... Just as we already have the ability to assign sequences by Label, Circuit, Patch, and Channel, I believe it would also be useful to have the option to assign sequences by Location. Here’s an example of where this feature would be applied: when working on a theater project that includes many lighting and set design bars (bars, not Truss structures). It would be much f...

Design > Layers > Colors – screen x paper : Typically, we'll use lighter colors in the wireframe for what we want to be more visible and darker colors for what doesn't need to be as visible. For paper, it's exactly the opposite. I suggest selecting a color already applied to screen or paper and applying its lighter or darker counterpart in the other setting.

Design > Layer > Colors – drag and drop : Drag color from one layer to other in the Layers tab in the same way as when creating a color palette.

Design > Layers > Colors - sorting : existing layer ordering by color should follow a chromatic logic. Since the default palette colors used by Capture were created based on RGB, it would be best to follow the same logic to sort it.

Design > Layers > Colors – color system : Let the choice of HSV or RGB used in the last color edition be remembered.

Design > Project - PASSWORD : We could use a password to lock all or selected project data, preventing it from being changed by other users when shared, protecting user authorship. This is not the same as a Presentation; it would be when the open project is shared or sold. For example, if someone builds a theater but wants more people to use it, they could establish authorship of the project and its version by locking it..

Views information : See the alpha, beta, and gamma symbols maybe D for design in minimized windows right next to the Capture logo. Again, many people use laptops with small screens, and maximizing them is a trial and error process.

Design > Fixtures : Be able to sort and unsort. This means having two patterns : ascending and descending. With those that have no value being at the beginning of the descending ordering and at the end of the ascending ordering, patch, for examle, as if they were “patched” in universe 0 and address zero.
