component property display in schematic editor

Hi, candece virtuoso users:

   Is there a way to move the component property dispaly locations? For example a nmos transistor, on the scheamtic it shows its instance name, cell name, w, l, multiplier, etc. It looks like those parameter locations are fixed and can not be moved. Sometimes I wish I could move things around to better locations so that make my schematic is easier to read...

   I don't believe Cadence does not allow users do this. I think there must be a way... 

 thanks!

    if open the transistor symbol in symbol editor, seems I can move those cdsparam() around to locations I desire. But this basically affects all instances of this transistor. How to adjust on just one isntance not affecting others? another thing, if I set for example w=150u. L=2.5u for a transistor, on the schem it actually shows W=160.00000u and L:2.5u. so why it shows so many 0 on w? Why it does this only on w, not on L? also why on L is use colons (:) not equal (=). I don't like the way it displays things. What controls all these?
