Module Copy and Edit

PK20240920135
PK20240920135 10 months ago

Hi, 

I copied part of the design from one project to another. When i try to now clean up this copied module to suit my new design i get a command message that the connected line has property LOCKED. But when i check the properties edit i dont see a LOCKED property applied. 

I also dont see a "DELETE" option on the cline. See below picture. How can i edit a module that has been placed from a .mdd format. ?

    Hi PK,

    This is the default behavior when placing a Module, to prevent un wanted editing of the circuit.

    You can turn this of by set the User Preference "disable_module_auto_lock" 

    Or, as Excellon1 suggested, remove the lock property on the module group.
