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

  • Timing Disable Button Mode for Subs

    It would be nice to have a mode for bump buttons that ignores the timing of the bump button and snaps on and off when pressed and released. The reason I suggest this is to save space on my fader wing. Right now, I like to have even/odd bumps for busking...

  • Rework +%/-% so you can double-press with manual fade.

    I used to use +%/-% quite a bit, but often would double-press to get to the value I wanted. Unfortunately the way it currently operates, the second +% press will add to the value of the fixture mid-fade. For example, Ch 1 starts at 50%, with +% set to...

    In the same way there is the flexi option to see only partition channels, can there also be an option to see only Channels that are in A3D?

  • Change order of Direct Select Banks and Magic Sheet Button Fields

    I'd like to reorder the banks I have in a Direct Select instead of replacing and recreating them. Changing the order is easy; recreating in a new bank is more cumbersome. Many programs have a way to change the ordering by moving up or down one position...

    Are there any plans to use GDTF/MVR in Eos 3.0/Augment3D? I know Vectorworks support is coming but seeing as Augment3D is not a full replacement for things like Vison and Capture it would be nice to use one "standard" to go between Pre-Viz and Show.

    I've only just really started playing with Augment3d properly but the thing I've discovered to be taking the most time is getting my conventional fixtures into roughly the right positions (more so for front of house positions). Unlike with moving lights...

  • Retain sort order of objects in the A3d editor

    • 1 Comment
    Whenever I start a new session and go to edit my A3d tab, the objects in the list are in "not sorted" sequence - it might be chronological sequence of insertion. I need to change to A-Z sort to be able to find objects by their name. Please make that...

    Example: Symbol with a target of Macro and a reference of Fader which will link the fill color of the macro symbol to the level of the referenced fader.

    Hi there, I’d like to be able to swap fixture position information in patch for A3D Edit. This would be super helpful in repositioning fixtures. Thanks!

  • Allow command line shutter syntax for conventionals in patch to support incremental change from existing value

    I can use a macro along the lines of Select Last Shutters Frame Thrust A and then enter a specific value, but I can't use Select Last Shutters Frame Thrust A @ +01 which, if supported, would allow one to make a magic sheet or set of direct selects for...
