I don't think it is possible *unless* primitives have been unlocked for that component. For example, I just selected a pad on a component (by double-clicking on the pad and clicking the selection box), placed a free pad, selected it, and then moved the free pad. The footprint pad does not move. There is not even a warning, as there is if such a move will move a locked free pad. In fact, after unlocking primitives for that component, and reselecting the pad (locking and unlocking seems to clear selections), still the pad did not move with a selected free pad. I'd rather get a warning and have the pad move. I selected *another* pad on the same component and tried to move it. I could not drag it at all. An unselected component pad moved easily. It appears that pad drag locks out all footprint pads, locked or unlocked. I found that a selected footprint pad could not be dragged at all. (by itself, the pad, of course, will move if the whole component is moved.) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
