Hello Brad,
I am still learning how to use DXP SP2 for my 1st design.
I think it has many good features, but also misses some very obvious and basic things, and has some serious misbehavior as an integrated solution.
(but there will never be such a thing as a perfect package)
One of the things that surprized me is indeed its poor handling of text within symbols.
There is no way to fix the place and orientation of any text precisely.
After correcting the place and orientation of the text when placed on Sch or Pcb, it is DESTROYED after rotating the part and must be redone.
Of course, I had anticipated that a sophisticated tool like DXP2004 would have full control over the exact place, orientation, font and size of any text within a library symbol. Why replacing the text after each placement and after each rotation?
Imagine the many users worldwide, spending so much time for each design on this stupid moving and rotating of text to its right place.
Over and over again.
Year after year.
The amount of money destroyed worldwide over the lifetime of the tool will be astronomical.
Almost criminal to design it this way... :-)
And it's such a simple and stupid work, just the type of work that computers are perfect in.
And people hate!
With best regards, Ton Kuijper ==================================
The text in linbrary symbols

Any of you DXP users out there,
I was just wondering if Altium has ever fixed a common problem that drives us nuts in P99SE. Placing text within a library SCH symbol, will the text annotation properly maintain it's desired location/orientation within the symbol as it is rotated and placed in a schematic?
In P99SE as soon as you rotated a symbol any text annotation within that symbol goes screwy for orientation and location.
