Hi All, when I create a new schematic symbol the designator and comment text fields sometimes end up in in odd positions far from the component "body".
Does anyone know how I set the locations of the text fields???? I'm using

When you draw your new symbol, make sure that you are working around the 0,0 point in the schematic editor - if I recall correctly, the ref des and comment are always placed near 0,0, regardless of where the component itself is drawn.

You want to create the symbol close to the origin (0,0) in the symbol editor.

Thanks for the replies guys. I always do create the part around the origin - usually with say pin 1 or the device center for some parts sitting on 0,0. Still I end up with some parts where the text wants to live out near the horizon!

This has happened to me lately, but on established components and I don't know why. Also the designator has elected to turn itself off, miles away from the component. Sorry, I have no answer, but you are not alone.

Yep -I've also got/had the problem of the designators hiding themselves! rob
