Dear all, in PHX8.1 I can’t place the legend inside the chart area anymore (like in v8.0). The respective parts in Options\>Legend\>Appearance are grayed out. Example: ![image547.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/certara/original/2X/f/f8ea53fd35e44013382dd31e30e5a160a9e71079.png) Am I the only one? ---

You are not, noted as QC 17712. this suggests a workaround that unchecking Bind Lattice to Data might be the way to enable it, but that was not possible for me initially i found that leaving the object and then coming back to it seemed to solve it for me, if you go back to that project now is it OK? Also note that there willbe a new graphics engine introduced in PHX 8.2 that may well make this a issue irrelevant Simon ---

Either worked sometimes, sometimes not.
