Hi, when working with elements like north arrows, scale and maybe other things, we need to refer to the map.

My idea is to make a mark in the TOC to indicate if the choice hasn't been made (at the element and in the top of the group to).  Like you can see in the pictures, no mark in my TOC but the map frame is not defined.  So have to check each time to be sure... time consuming.

This is available with the List by Map Frame option in the TOC.

Hi, maybe I'm lost but can't see option in the TOC for that.  So the problem is still there when I import layout or paste one, if I do not manually fix all parameters, I can have an empty mapframe, like in my picture.  So if I forgot to check, since everything look nice, these element doesn't represent the current map.

Hi Marcel,

I think this existing option will really help you out. I've highlighted the button here in the screenshot, hopefully that makes it easier to find.
