Please note this is the same issue as https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/problem-with-network-l2-map/msg26186/#msg26186 and similar to https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/l2-map-save-layout/msg23165/#msg23165. however these are rather old posts so I wanted to open a new one.

such that after generating a layer 2 topology map with automatic layout, I then disable automatic layout and place all the nodes neatly into logical positions for the team, however after a certain amount of time they loose their location and re-appear at the top left hand corner. I understand this is due to the server loosing topology information however the devices do not change after they are picked back up so I would like them to go back to the same spots.

This wold save me either having to re-move around 10-20 nodes on around 20 maps every couple of days, or re-making every map statically and having to update it manually (Which is prone to human error).

Is there a way around this or should I move it to Feature Requests?
Thanks in Advance
