WYSIWYG 2025: Updates & Enhancements

  • Truss objects export to .DWG/.DXF as “complete” 3D models (i.e., with cylindrical chords and cross-members) by default. (If desired, they can still export as lines, like they always did until now.)
  • Custom Library Items that were created strictly from imported 3D models and saved at the Application Level (i.e., “made available to other documents”) now remain smoothed (if they imported as such) and retain any and all textures they were initially imported with.
  • Textures and Normal Maps may now be applied to Library Objects.
  • Self-shadows now appear for fixtures that feature continuous tilt as well as for Minuit Une laser units.
  • The Shaded View’s Sketch option received two new modes, Color and Color Fixtures. When the former is selected, all objects (including fixtures) display in their layer’s colour, while when the latter is selected, only fixtures display in their layer’s color. As a result of this change, the “classic” black-on-white option has been renamed to Default, and Invert has been renamed to Black Background.
  • Improved visualization for LED-based tube- and strip-type fixtures.
  • Improved visualization for fixtures fitted with a frost or diffusion gel when no gobo is used.
  • The number of reflective surfaces has been increased to 20; the same rules apply, though: while a Sphere is considered a single reflective surface, a Riser has six reflective surfaces.
  • The MVR Library has been updated to version 1.5.
  • Fixture weights are now exported to MVR.
  • The number of hang structures to which Position Names have not been assigned appears in the MVR Export (information) dialog.
  • It is now possible to Purge empty DMX Universes.
  • CTRL+SHIFT+D is once again the keyboard shortcut for the Distribute Between Two Points function.
  • Pan Circles’ colour can now be set to display in the colour of the layer their fixtures are on.
  • Improved docking behaviour for Designer Tools, Cuts and Adjustments, etc.
  • The Shortcuts list automatically scrolls to display a new shortcut that was created.
  • Gobo manufacturer info now appears in gobos’ Library Properties.
  • NDI® has been updated to version 6.
