Hi - After a long recess (using ACAD, Revit) I am back to Softplan.  Is there a way to lock elements such as walls and windows (so they can not be moved)  - similar to the Revit Pin command?

You can "anchor" most objects using the "common" tab. Is actually does not anchor it but gives you a warning if you attempt to move it (accidentally or otherwise)

The other option would be of course locking the relevant layers, however, that requires some reasonably strict layer discipline. You could always create a layer called locked and move things on and off that layer at will.
