Hi Justin,

Welcome to the forum! I suppose you are referring to the realtime CAD symbols and not the plot symbols, right? We have an ambition to replace these "generic" shape representations with proper shapes at some point in the future, but we need to extend our library a bit to support this and it's properly at least a year away at this point..

Yes, the realtime cad symbols.

As I was wondering, is there any upcoming plan for capture 5?
Anything new on the near future release?
I've been expecting to see spread-sheet style for the information windows section.

Hi Justin,

Well, sure there is a plan! The plan is long enough to cover several years of development.. most of it is prioritised just-in-time though, so it's difficult to say what will happen when. The nearest improvements to expect deal with DWG/DXF import and export, the fixture control tab and measurement objects.

I'm not sure what you mean with spreadsheet style - the fixture list was converted to a spreadsheet quite long ago...

Oh ?

Wait, have you recieve my latest wishlist email?

I found a bug that the 'replace fixture' feature have incorect XYZ.

yeah, importing dwg/dxf size is different from what I done in cad.

Hi Justin,

Yes, I have received your e-mail and will reply soon. I'm on the road at the moment.

The XYZ replacement bug is under investigation, but the changing drawing unit when importing is not a bug, it's a lack of information in the DWF file and a matter of correctly specifying the drawing unit in **CAD when drawing!

I see, so its the difference of information between the software.
