can't unfix part

stellar

If I display element on the symbol it says it has an inherited fixed property. When I unfix it the command status appears that it removes the fixed status but then I find it is still fixed when I try to move it. I dug around in constraints and found no indications of the symbol being fixed. I know this is my doing as every connector on the board has this permanant fixed status. I've been working with Altium lately and now can't remember my own name.

    hm well when unfixing the symbol I only had SYMBOL selected in the FIND FILTER. I turned every thing on in the FIND FILTER then select on of the symbol pads and unfixed it. That worked and now the symbol no longer shows the inherited fixed property and I can move it. You'd think that selecting the SYMBOL in the FIND FILTER would be sufficient but maybe this inherited case needs a bigger hammer.

     Sounds like the fixed property was attached to the element differently -- maybe a pin or component?
    You can always just right mouse->unfix all to get around these issues
