Help with "FIXED" property

croc4

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with some symbols that are "fixed" when I select them and choose "unfix" from the drop down menu, I see a message in the command window that  the fixed property has been removed, but when I then try to move it, it claims the symbol is "fixed" ;-/. So I'm at a loss to correct this puzzle. I'm using Allegro 16.2.

 output from command window

(selecting unfix from the drop down menu of the symbol)

Property FIXED removed from element Symbol: AMP_747250-X at 1358.80, 161.42.
Command > 

(Now trying to move that same symbol)

Cannot edit Symbol "J23". Component Instance "J23" has the FIXED property.
No valid items selected for the current operation, exiting.
