It would be super handy to have a checkbox to autoupdate the symbol key on Plots
Especially with the new function to print multiple plots/reports to pdf.
Now this function is inplented (thank you) another symbol key request:
I always customize my symbol key. After every fixture type, I manually add the DMX mode and channel count. However, when I click the text bar to edit it, the original fixture name disappears immediately. It would be much more efficient if the text were simply selected, so I can choose to either delete it or adjust it.
Currently, this workflow only works if I have a basic plot template ready after all fixtures are placed. I then duplicate this basic plot to create the rest. But if there is a change or an extra fixture is added later, I have to manually adjust the symbol key on every single plot.
It would be great if a symbol key could be stored as a library item. This would make it possible to update all symbol keys at once or easily copy a specific symbol key to another plot.
Thank you!

Maybe you could have a look at the Overlay function. Here you can have a layout with only the key and your title block, you change it once, and it is there in all your other layouts.
Yes! That’s a nice solution to use as a template plot. I didn’t know that was possible. Plots - Edit - Design - Select underlay (basic plot) - Done!
