    Hello,

    I am working on a plot where I have two cell blinders that are facing forward to the audience and vertically stacked. The Elation DTW 350 Ip does not have a proper symbol associated with it, so I swapped it out with the USITT RP-2 2 Light Blinder Symbol to properly represent the two cells. 

    I am running into a problem where I cannot get the symbol to properly face the correct direction. They should be one cell on top on the other, facing forward. However, on my top view plot the symbol is aligned horizontally (wrong) facing forward (correct), but on my front view plot the symbol is facing vertically (correct) but facing stage right (wrong, showing the side of the light). It seems that the plot adjustments I have are only in relation to the plot’s current orientation, and adjustments on one plot window don’t affect the other. 

    I'd really like to get this visually correct, so the crew gets the hang orientation correct. I’m running 2019.2.7. here is an image of my window. Beta view shows the correct orientation in wireframe, but neither plot views show it correctly.

    Capture plot symbols are 2D top views of the fixtures rather than accurate side views of it. Their main goal is to be used as a symbol and not as a representation of the live current status.
