Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    Hi Everyone, I don't know if this already exists or not but I am wondering if there is an online library for ETC and HES 3d fixture models to import into vectorworks and such? If not then that would be amazing to have. I know there are the profiles...

    Don't get me wrong...I love the simplicity of the Ambient light shortcuts. And for basic users, this may be all they ever deal with. But since you can open up preference and change the ambient light to levels that are not one of the 4 buttons (as well...

    Could we add gobo and adjust cuts of conventional in the "Augment3D" "edit" mode instead of inside "Patch"? Or we could have it in both tab? Also a search function for Gobo will be nice! Thanks!

    Hello, would it be possible for you to add a generic blinder, just with an intensity that would have the same dim curve as a blinder, and would function the same? I tried adding one in but it just put in an LED.

    It would be nice to add the ability to use imported objects, as FPE and reference points. Use case is as follows: On a stage with multiple sets, to make importing aligning sets with spotting plans easier the 0,0,0 point of the model is set to the corner...
