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

  • Partition User Settings

    Make it so that "Recall User Settings" doesn't overwrite the User label.
  • Augment3d Beam labels

    • 0 Comments
    For running shows I find it useful to be able to tell what light is doing what as my fixtures have mechanical issues keeping edge as programmed. I want the label of the stick beam to be at the surface that the beam falls on, not in the middle of the stick...
  • Stick Beams and Fixture Labels not as useful as hoped

    • Under Review on
    • 14 Comments
    Hi, Augmented is not as useful as I hoped at answering the question: "what is the bright spot downstage left" particularly on large shows. 1) There should be an option for channel number labels to be displayed at the floor, rather than the middle...
  • Could the A3d import window let us map a user field to Edge so we can set that in VW?

    • 0 Comments
    Because, at the moment, merging in A3d is an all or nothing affair in patch, I think many of us will be using the import method as opposed to importing in an existing Augemented rig. That means trying to get the VW export as detailed as possible, to leave...
  • XYZ scaled focus pallets

    Focus pallets set by type to XYZ Scaled. these are then set in a relation to the FPE points. for example 4 points in a 10m box and a focuse position with light 1 in 8m/1m/1m and light 2 at -8m/1m/1m move the 4 points for the new venue and new size...

  • Power on multi-console system.

    I cannot test the current behaviour in 3.0 but I'm currently working with an Ion Xe and a Gio @5 running on 2.8.2 where the Ion is the master, and is in a control area at the back of the gods while I've got the @5 in the stalls. It would be really handy...
  • Keep Channel Number when Cutting and Pasting Magic Sheet Objects in Same Magic Sheet

    • 2 Comments
    It would be nice if I could cut and paste a light in a magic sheet and have the light keep its channel number, or at least give me an option to choose that. Currently it changes to a new number when pasting. This would be useful in the film world where...
  • SpaceMouse Support for Augment3D Navigation

    • 0 Comments
    I use a lot of different 3D programs. Augment3D is the one I find most frustrating in terms of navigating my view around a 3D scene. By far, the easiest way to do this kind of navigation is to use 3DConnexion's SpaceMouse. Might it be possible in the...
  • Fix FX BPM Timing

    • 0 Comments
    In an absolute effect, using the BPM softkey in the effects editor to change the speed of the effect respaces the whole effect evenly. This makes it so cannot have asymmetrical effects, like an intensity step where the on state is shorter than the off...
