Every plot has a moment where somebody asks "what plugs in where". The Midas M32 icon settles it on paper: it shows where the system lives and how much stage it consumes.
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. Mains sit outside the downstage corners with subs on the deck or flown, positioned to keep the front row covered without firing into the vocal mics. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.
Say this part explicitly. Note whether the PA is house supplied or provided. Coverage arguments are much cheaper before the truck arrives.
Midas M32 is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it shows where the system lives and how much stage it consumes, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
Because the input list is generated rather than typed, it exports straight to console: X32 and M32 scene files, Wing scenes, and CSV channel names for the Allen and Heath, DiGiCo, and Yamaha families. See the console guides.

Shows where the system lives and how much stage it consumes is only part of the picture. These icons come from Monitors, Stageboxes and Cases, Stairs, Risers, Trusses, the sections that most often appear on the same drawing.
