Symbols keep disappearing for Cosmographer
I'm trying to draw my first spaceship and would like to place chairs, command stations, etc. in the drawing. I can insert the symbols just fine, but when I go to another area for other symbols, the previous ones are gone. They also disappear when I click the page in which all the symbols can be seen at once without having to scroll them. Anyone know why the symbols don't retain?

The reason why you can see them immediately after placing them is because CC3 don't redraw the screen for each symbol placed, because this would cause severe slowdown on complicated maps. So it just places these on top untill the next redraw. Once you do anything that causes a redraw, the symbols will be drawn in their correct place in the sheet order, and will thus be hidden if you have entities in the same place on sheets lower in the drawing order.
Try entering the Sheets and Effects
You can also use the Change Properties tool on the already drawn shapes to move them to the FLOORS sheet.
Note. Make sure you don't confuse sheets with layers.
