Switch to V5 to access this functionality.
This feature allows you to secure the placement of xyicons, boundaries, and markups in a Space View, preventing accidental movement or rotation. This feature introduces object-level locking, enabling you to lock a specific xyicon, boundary, or markup without locking all objects of the same type.
When an object is position-locked, its coordinates are protected, maintaining the accuracy of the space.
Once this feature is applied, the object cannot be moved, rotated, or edited in a way that would affect its position. Additionally, the object remains locked for the entire organization across all views.
You can lock:
A single object
Multiple objects
A mixed selection (xyicons, boundaries, and markups together)
Locking Objects
Open the Space View for the relevant space.
Select one or more objects (xyicons, boundaries, markups).
On the Action Bar, click on the more icon (

Or use Shift+L to lock the selected objects..png)
When locked, a visual indicator appears in the bottom-left corner upon hover and selection.
