    It's working correctly for me with the recent hotfix S029

    I would open a ticket with Cadence asking for more info on the error message since it isn't documented:

    Cadence has not yet provided detailed help for this message; 'SPMHA1-247'. [help]

    Cadence support has requested the Allegro .brd file to debug this issue, can you provide it?

    I face a similar issue. What worked for me was to switch from General Edit to Placement Edit. Then I selected the symbol and mirrored it (right-click and mirror). It fixed the issue. I could then switch back to General Edit and it continued to work.
