Hi folks, A good point is made below by "jgsull". Does anyone know how to change the place a plot starts out once you get going with some plots, add a map and find out the plots aren't near where you want them and have to move all of them? The new plots seem to continue to show up around where the previous plots were before you moved them. Not having to zoom out, find the little pink or maroon plot figure and drag it over to your area of interest on the map would be nice. Thanks in advance for any ideas...
