Provide global controls for annotation & display results

When I am configuring the parameters shown in the display results text boxes on the canvas and the style of the text I have to edit each one individually.

I don't see any reason why this could not be handled with global controls to make them all final circuit text the same, all submain text the same etc

Instead of configuring a couple of interfaces and having ProDesign apply this to all circuits I have to edit them all by hand which takes forever. In addition to that, if i decide I need to edit a missing parameter into the text boxes or change the colour I have to go over all of them again, sometimes multiple times.

It can take literal days to do what should take less than a minute. I'm doing the computers work instead of the computer doing the work for me.

I would also like to be able to save these configurations, including text style, text size, colours, phase labels etc in the same way I can currently save my preferred configuration (the current configuration save only has a small number of the parameter i want in it)
