Unable to move the schematic pins using the Mouse control in the Allegro Symbol Authoring tool of Version 17.4

Dear Community,

I have been working on creating schematic symbols using the Allegro Design Authoring software. In version 17.2, I was able to move pins on a schematic symbol using mouse controls seamlessly. For instance, if I wanted to move a pin from the left side to the right side of the symbol, I could simply select the pin and drag it to the desired location using the mouse.

However, after upgrading to version 17.4, I have noticed that this functionality is no longer available. In the current version, I can only move pins using keyboard arrow commands, which is less convenient.

Could this change be due to a modification in the UI settings or a default configuration change in version 17.4? If so, is there a way to re-enable the mouse control for moving pins?

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could guide me through the steps to restore this functionality or provide any insights on this matter.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Rohit Rohan

    Which tool you are using to edit the library symbol? Is it DEHDL - PDV - Symbol editor? 

    Also, which hotfix of the SPB17.4 you are using? Is it happening with all the part symbols? Any screenshot of the symbol would be helpful to understand what you are trying to do.
