    Dear Capture and Users,

    i would like to request a feature for more efficiency.

    I would like to have the possibility that fixtures which are hanging on a truss should move with the truss when the truss is moved in the software. At the moment I have to select every Fixture and the truss before moving it. That would be great, if you are going to implement this feature.

    Thanks in advance!

    High on my list as well! Almost as high on my list as keeping the fixture amounts correct on the plot key ;-)

    The OP request is kind of handled by grouping, but you do have to manually group and ungroup items.

    Keyboard shortcut ctrl+G to group, ctrl+B to break the group.

    I think your solution works fine if you snap lights to a pipe and dont change them. As soon as you start editing things (add a few lights, move them over, etc.) it ends up not being the best workaround to group items to a pipe or truss.

    So for me, it would be very helpful if this feature request was taken into consideration.

    Maybe you already know this but you can select all the fixtures on a truss by selecting the truss and using the function Select All / Fixtures on Truss. There is also already a shortcut for the command.

    This is a workaround for me. But I agree that moving all the fixtures and the pipe directly would be more convenient.

    This would be a great feature! I work in a venue with pipes on fixed positions. In have a basefile of the venue with all the pipes on maximum hight. I first "hang" the fitues on the pipes. Afther that I take them to their hight. It would be great when the fixtures on the pipe moves with the pipe.

    This and that the visability of the fixtures are tied to the thing they are atached to. As they are in WYG. Would simplify rearanging trusses
