Faceplate template
Is it possible to create your won faceplate template, with things like number of indicators, number of button rows allready configured? Or is copy paste of one with the right settings the only option.
I would like have an option to insert aspect and then choose "My custom Faceplate" from the list.

Well, the basic design of 800xA assumes that every object of the same type has the same Faceplate.
Faceplates are normally "inherited" from the object type. If you want slightly different faceplates for each object instance you could perhaps try on of the following options ....
- Override every faceplate and make the changes on each object instance
- Modify the faceplate Aspect Propoerties on the object type to be "Template" instead of "Inherit"
- Have no faceplate at all on the object type, and instead put the Faceplate into an Aspect group, then add the Aspect Group to the object instance. I think this option may be closest to what you want to do.
