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

  • 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...
  • 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...
  • Magic sheet arc tools

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to be able to draw arc lines, not the semi circles. Also a distribute in an arc tool. Thinking about things like chase lights on a round portal or arch.
  • 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...
  • XYZ scaled focus pallets

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Having a deterministic behavior for the {Custom} softkey in the Encoder Display

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, the /eos/key/encoder_custom OSC command to control the Custom softkey in the Encoder Display only has a toggle behaviour for the moment. A deterministic behavior to activate/deactivate the softkey (as it is the case for the others softkeys for the...
  • Feature Request: Ability to Customize CSV export of patch and correction for multicell fixtures in CSV

    • 1 Comment
    I use the CSV export of the patch to make fixture labels these days. It would be lovely to be able to choose which fields are exported in the CSV (for example, I only use Channel, Address, Type and Notes). Also, it would be useful to be able to export...
  • Tombstone Colors

    • 2 Comments
    I'm new, so there's probably a way to do this, or a way to do something similar, but I would like to change the tombstone channel colors. I used to tape up my old Express which made it really easy to see what area a light was for and what color gel was...
  • Vertical Direct Selects

    • 1 Comment
    Hello. At our venue we usually use Direct Selects with 7 collums and 20 rows giving us 4x(5x7) "chunks" for storing our Groups/Presets/Palletes. We treat these chunks like four little areas (divided by the three Black dividers when using 20 rows)...
  • Tabs for browser

    • 0 Comments
    use tabs to open the drop down lists instead of only drop down list. Colour highlights and File path really aren't visual enough to prevent merging or saving into wrong files. A nice big tab will make it very clear when you are in Save, or open or Merge...
