I have been sent a Capture lighting file named 'RWT Generic October 2024 2024-10-09 21-40-31.est3d' and need to upload it to our ETC Element desk to be a functional patch but am unsure how to do it.

This is a regular showfile, but it needs at least version 3.0.

If you're running such a software version it's as easy as pressing [Displays] and then in the browser navigating to File > Open, following the file path of (probably) your USB drive, selecting the showfile and pressing Enter.

If you have another show currently loaded on your Element that has unsaved changes, hit [Shift]&[Update] before loading your new showfile.
