That did not help. This morning when I reloaded that test case I could not get a hold of either R1 or R2. Any part that I added after those worked fine. It acts like there is some uninitialized variable during the file load process. I wonder if that is why some of the designators start out in the upper left outside of the element, and some start out rotated 90-degrees half inside the element on the right? That is what sent me down this path, I was starting a new design. Half the designators where outside on the left, the other half inside on the right, and I could not move any of them. I just tried saving the test case file back out and reading it back in, then I can move both R1 and R2 designators on the reread file. This is the only notable difference that I see related to the elements: This test case file has this: Element(0x0 "2010" "R2" "1K" -147 -128 0 100 0x0) The reread file has this: Element[0x00000000 "2010" "R2" "1K" 80000 42000 -14700 -12800 0 100 0x00000000] There are the two extra numbers after the "1K". The -147/-128 are the designator position, what are 80000 and 42000?
