Symbols disappearing onto their own sheets in CC3+
Is there any way to turn off "Symbols choose their own sheets"?
Specifically I'm using DD3+ if I place a symbol on a custom sheet, it stays there as long as I stay on the sheet but at some time later when I switch to another sheet and back, the symbols have disappeared - I'm not sure if it's the act of switching sheets, though. Anyway, I have to then find the sheet where they have gone to, and Move them to the sheet I want them on.
Now, I've tried using the Symbol Options (the one on top of the symbol sidebar) to uncheck the above setting, and that does work - for the remainder of the session. If I exit CC3+, and then come back to it at a later time, as I found by experimenting, the setting has reverted to checked again. It means I have to uncheck it each time for the symbol catalog I'm using before I use any of the symbols, otherwise I have to go hunting again.
I had a look and there doesn't seem to be a Global (and persistent) setting?
Nice maps, btw, everyone posting them on here - much better than mine

I don't know why you want the symbols on a different sheet. When I put symbols on a different sheet, I do it because I want to change front-to-back priorities. I let CC3+ or CC3 put the symbols intended for an alternate sheet on the symbols sheet at first, then choose Edit/Change Properties and change the sheet property to the one I want the symbols to be on.
It's pretty simple and fast, and it serves my needs well. However, that's no guarantee that it will serve yours.
When the symbols move to the SYMBOLS sheet, they become invisible on the sheet I'm working with - which is not useful
But this is not a biggie in the scheme of things, just an extra annoyance to have to do that - I can live with it *shruggie. I was just wondering, mostly
What I'm using CC3+ for is just to do dungeon floor plans for my benefit as a DM in my D&D campaign, just line drawings with symbols here and there. Occasionally, combat floor plans, pretty much the same. In other word, none of the fancy, real beautiful cartography that everyone seems to be so good at on the forums
Basically, the location is an immense tower carved out of a 3km high basalt plug in a desert, more specifically atm in another tower built on top of that, so being a tower it lends itself to using a sheet per level.
Thanks for your help, btw
