"Mikey Sklar gave this answer to the same question: Date: 10/26/03 10:34 am Within PCB, I choose: Select --> Elements A red word at the bottom of my PCB session appears stating "pattern" I reference groups of components by refdes names. In my case if I want to select all the resistors I press R enter. then I can move the resistors (all stacked on top of each other) to the side and cleanly sort them out one at a time with F11 movements. Its still dragging parts individually, but being able to move out sections at a time has really saved me a lot of silly organizational mouse clicks." I just tried this but "Select --> Elements" is grayed out. :-( -- � � � http://www.softwaresafety.net/ �http://www.unusualresearch.com/ http://www.bpaddock.com/
