hi
when I plan a flight, i usually select my start and my target destination first which gives me a direct line from A to B. Since i live in Switzerland, this route usually crosses some rather high terrain. Skydemon then calculates the minimum safe altitude for this leg and sets it to something like 14'000ft. Sadly i usually forget to set my cruising alitutde at this point by lowering the legs altitude to a desired level  or i simply don't know it yet, and i continue to insert waypoints into my route until i have my routing ready. i then realize, that now all my legs are set to 14'000 ft and i then have to change the altitude setting for each and every leg.
Is there a  button or a trick of some sort, to reset t‌he altitude of all legs in my current flight plan to a certain default altitude without moving each leg individually?

cheers
Pascal‌‌‌

T67M,

You may not have noticed that setting the altitude for each leg can also be done by dragging the magenta line in the vertical radar window.

Thanks Eric - I do know this, but it's still very fiddly in my opinion. Moving your finger by a millimeter can result in the leg altitude changing by several hundred feet since the virtual radar vertical scale is so compressed, and often the altitude I'd want to adjust it to is waaay of the top of the displayed scale. As a result I tend not to bother setting it at all for one-off flights, only bothering when it's a route I'm likely to fly more often.
