A cast list is a huuuuuge time saver for getting started and for delivery to a client (so that they can tell which student is which spot). Can Envision implement something like this? The data for this is already accessible through the Performer Editor, but one has to cycle through each one in a litt...

In Pyware, there's a screen that allows the writer to choose which charts to print. It looks like a simple spreadsheet with the leftmost column a checkbox column. There are many times I want to just print the "Big Sets" and leave all or some of the subsets out of the printed set. Is there ...

I'm not sure why this hasn't been implemented yet, but.... While we can check the "Rehearsal Mark" option in the Set Properties, Envision simply increments to the next letter in the alphabet. Unfortunately, there are many scenarios that being able to type in a rehearsal mark would be neede...

Every now and then I put performers on a subset, then change my mind. But the animation will still show them going to that point before sending them to their final next-set position. How do I remove them from a subset so that they go straight from one set to another, bypassing the subset? Thanks, -B...

Just wondering how I can get a performer to be on a prop.

More and more shows use props for mini-stages.

Since props are just a 3D shape (HxWxD), it would seem like it would be easy to get performers to be on top of a prop.

Thoughts?

I hope this forum is still the place to put suggestions. I don't see much new since 2015. Alas,... Setting "simple" drill is a bit of a chore. (ex. creating a simple line of marchers) Currently: - Switch to Form Selection Mode - Choose Line tool - Create line - Switch to Performer Selectio...

Other Dot Sheet questions: 1a) Is there a way to print a Dot Sheet for each performer? Currently multiple performers are grouped onto a single page. With a show with multiple segments (productions), this means I'm stuck slicing paper into small slips for each production. (I feel like I'm in kinderga...

I second this suggestion: Use "in front of" or "behind" a sideline or hash instead of "inside" or "outside". Those are used throughout as toward or away from the 50ydln. Also, it would be very clear to the performer to use "On" instead of "0.00 ...

(I'm on a Mac, so CMD= pc's ALT) Suggested future-version keyboard shortcuts: - a quick way to move to and from sets/subsets (e.g. CMD-] or CMD-[, or CMD-arrow keys) - a quick way to move selected performers along the grid: Arrow Keys (rather than dragging them, which requires visual counting) (eg. ...

Here's a few initial use thoughts. - App crashed after entering license (no problem launching after that though) New Production: - please highlight helper text (i.e. "Song1", "Song2") in production title fields (currently user has to delete them before entering actual titles) - b...
