I have previously only used customised icons in charts on an ad hoc basis to identify ancestors with specific Occupations or having Wills for example.

I am thinking I should maybe use them in a more structured way. Can someone advise on two things:

1. If I want to track the country of birth and death, and whether they appear in specific censuses there are quite a number of expressions I am going to need to add. Are there any shortcuts to this process?
2. I have noticed that some charts share their settings, like the Ancestors, Descendants, Ancestors & Descendants, and All Relatives - is the only way to avoid this is to create a custom diagram?

Thanks.

One thing I do find annoying regards icons, is their placement.

With a top-down or bottom-up orientation, the icons are placed tidily below the long side of the box, however, with a left-right or right-left orientation, the icons are placed alongside the short side of the box, which makes for a very untidy looking diagram.

It would be nice if one could specify where the icons were placed in relation to the box (or have I missed something?). My personal preference would always place them below the box, which is currently not possible in the left-right or right-left orientation.
