Okay, desperation is slowly setting in... Is there a way to automatically "pin" the ref designator and/or part-type fields to specific locations within/without a component upon executing the Place-Part command, ie, without manual editting of said partype or ref designator respective locations (picture, if you will, a reference designator pinned to a location _internal_ to the component outline, like text inside a balloon, or text fixed to the lower left corner of a rectangle, etc.
