Right, I want to swap pin set 1 for pin set 4, but I suspect that's just going to open up a world of hurt in the designer.
Can it be done?

I don't believe there is a way to quickly do it. I assume you're talking about pins for an entire course. Probably just have to individually move each pin on each green.

Moving the default pins (pin set 1) individually is going to be near impossible as it drags the waypoint (and all the other related pins) with it too. Now I have to ask myself - Is it worth deleting all the pins and starting again? I am far from happy with pin set 1 as it is, and as that'll be the defacto starting point, it's going to annoy me endlessly. Nope, going to have to screenshot each green so I can recreate the good pin sets and add a new pin set 4. Damn, it pays to plan ahead, eh? *face/palm*

Yet another thing that should be as easy as tabbing over 1 through 4 on "advanced edit" of pins or something like that. But no. It has to be made complicated. Sorry OP.

You can place marker posts, or something similar, to mark the current position of the pins. I do that sometimes when i’m moving pins around.
If I move pins1 around, it doesn’t move the waypoint or other pins.... at least i’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

Just use the measure tool and double click it to mark where the pin is, saves taking screenshots.
Apologies if i havent understood what you mean.

I do this as well, but I've come up with a slightly refined system: So if it's not obvious, the number of dots corresponds to the pin number. The top-left dot (when viewed from the fairway) is always where the pin goes. It's worked great for me in the past, so I hope other people find it useful.

The top-left dot (when viewed from the fairway) is always where the pin goes. It's worked great for me in the past, so I hope other people find it useful. I use the measure tool too but put 2 dots diagonally from one corner of the box to the other so it intersects the flag, then if I want to move it around I know the middle of the line is where it goes. I have a notebook or sheet of paper and draw a stamp sized shape of the green and put the pin numbers on there for quick reference so I didn't have 2 pins in the same area on consecutive holes. Did the same for tee locations back in the TGC1 days for different lengths each round. As for all the pins moving are you selecting Move Pin or Move Hole? I dont remember all pins moving when I've moved pin 1 before. I always set green size to zero so I dont have to worry about the green moving if I did want to move the end waypoint, have it set as flat too.

Yep, for the entire course. Moving the default pins (pin set 1) individually is going to be near impossible as it drags the waypoint (and all the other related pins) with it too. You can move pin 1 and the waypoint seperately, just like you can seperate the waypoint from the tee. They aren't tied to each other except when you initially layout the hole. Look for the move waypoint option when you hover over the pin 1/waypoint on the course. It is either above or below pin 1 - I can't remember which and I'm at work right now so can't check.

Yeah, as others have said, as long as you move the pin and not the waypoint, you're fine. It's when you move the waypoint on the green that all hell unfolds and the other pins move to follow it. I'm sure there's some time when that's useful, but I'm yet to find it... I move pin 1 around all the time as it allows you to check slopes around the green far more easily and I'll tweak pin orders on a number of holes pretty much right until publish. It's not too much hassle and well worth doing.

I just use the system that most Golf Courses IRL use; Front Middle Back and repeat. So all you have to do is look at Pin 1 on the previous hole to see where to put the next pin. The only problem with this system is that it is hard to ensure that the round 4 pins are the hardest, but I don't do that anyway.

*Solved*
Thanks to all for their responses, used the measure tool to mark old positions and moved pins around at will. Could even delete all pins but pin 1 and set suitable waypoints for optimal flyover etc. Great advice guys, thanks!
Only issue I had was on a short par 3 where the chosen club was way off no matter what I did, so I deleted the hole and started again. Of course that made my new 3rd now the 18th and and shifted all the rest down one (old 18th now the 17th etc.) and had to swap each hole right down the order one by one.
All sorted now though. And lesson learnt - plan ahead!
