    Hi Jo

    I'm not aware of such a tool.

    Do you want it to lock the position of the frame on the layout or lock the center and zoom of the map in the frame?

    Thanks

    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    I hope Jo is talking about locking the frame position, it would be amazing to be able to lock frames/objects from moving in a layout. There are a lot of times i accidentally move my map frame :)

    Yeah, there are a few things we could improve in the layout to make things easier to work with.

    I'd recommend looking at the Precisely Ideas and voting for those you find most useful.

    Here you can find the ideas around layout with Status Future Consideration.

    And feel free to add any ideas you think are missing.

    Personally, I think a Layout Layer List could solve many of the ideas we see: Layout Layer Control

    Thats a great idea Peter, the layout layer control seemed like the next logical step in development. Looking forward to many 'future considerations' becoming  'in development' in regards to layout improvements. Cheers
