I understand the problem now. Thanks for the additional info. There is currently no way to have the apertures stay exactly as in a previous run. I can add an option to do that, but for now, I think there is a workaround that may solve your problem.

The work around requires the first image to be plate solved and all of the others to not be plate solved. One you do that, turn on “Use RA/Dec...” to place apertures. Set centroid on or off as desired. Turn off “use previous apertures” for your first run. Also disable “Stop on centroid / WCS error”. Now place your apertures.

Once that run is finished, return to multiaperture again but this time enable “use previous apertures”, leave RA/Dec enabled, and centroid and error message disabled. Now when you click “Place Apertures”, they will be automatically placed in the previous locations without a click. Now run photometry and the exact same apertures should be used again.

Let me know if this works for now.
