Moving Mechanical Symbol

jmadsen
jmadsen over 3 years ago

I am running OrCad PCB Designer Professional V 17.4 S027.  I placed a slot as a mechanical symbol on my PCB.  I want to move it.  No matter what I've tried, I cannot select it to move or delete.  I've tried in both Placement Edit and General Edit modes.  I've used "All On" on the Find Filter.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

    One of the first things I tried was to UNFIX it. I get a "No element found." message, no matter how I set my find filter for all commands - UNFIX, MOVE, DELETE, etc.  Is LOCKED a separate property from FIXED?
