Every plot has a moment where somebody asks "what plugs in where". The 8ch Analog Snake icon settles it on paper: it fixes the point every input cable on stage has to reach.
Drag it onto the canvas, resize it, rename the label, and it lands in the exported PDF exactly where you left it.
Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. Boxes sit upstage left or upstage right against the wall, out of the walking route and close to the heaviest cluster of inputs. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.
Say this part explicitly. Give the channel count of the box. Stageplot Pro expands a snake icon into its own numbered channel rows on the input list.
8ch Analog Snake expands into 8 numbered channel rows on the input list, each defaulting to a DI input, no stand and phantom power off. Drawing the box rather than describing it is what makes the copper count add up.
Channel names travel with the plot. Export a scene file for an X32, M32, or Wing, or a channel name CSV for dLive, Avantis, SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL. See the console guides.

Fixes the point every input cable on stage has to reach is only part of the picture. These icons come from Cables, AC & DI and PA, the sections that most often appear on the same drawing.
