    It would be great if it was possible to change the colour of the symbols in the symbol key.

    I often put fixtures of different types on different layers, partly for convenience but also so I can give each fixture type it's own colour on the plot. Whilst this copies over to the plot, it's not possible to change the symbol key to reflect this colour coding.

    Many Thanks

    That is an interesting idea. We will need to think about how to make that possible in a way that's not too confusing!

    I think this is a great feature request and i'd like to offer my thoughts.

    Perhaps this could be left as a manual option, within the same window as when you add custom text to the key. A "change colour" box here would be nice and simple.

    At the same time, it would be nice to have the option to "clone" the symbol so that it could appear twice or more in the key as different colours if required.

    Also, while we're at it, i'd love to have control over the order that symbols are set out in the key.

    And, my big one, copy and paste of text boxes - I get very tired of configuring the size, colour and position of every single text box. It would also be lovely if the text box appeared in the position you "right click" or in future "paste" the item, rather than having to zoom out and fetch it from the top left every time.

    Sorry to hijack the post with this....I got carried away. But the first suggested feature is a great one!!

    Cheers
