Large selection area of a schematic symbol!...

Hi,

I have created a schematic symbol with right area. However, when I select it in my schematic page a large selection area appears that I don't see why?!.

I am wondering why selection area exceeds schematic symbol?

Thanks,

hossein

    This is normally related to properties you have added (like Part Number, Value etc. Open the Symbol and look under Options - Part Properties. Any that are displayed can extend the boundary of the symbol. Move the property text closer to the main body and the boundary should shrink in size.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. I checked and updated everything so many times. However, the problem was still exist. Then I decided to remove symbol and add it again. Soon afterwards, it was OK. It seems to me that "update Cache" can't remove/modify all properties of previously placed symbol.

    Thanks again,
    Hossein
