Hmm you say selection box. I assume you mean dropdown box? The global criterion for the selection is 'Any', 'Same', 'Different' I think. So you had this set on 'Same'?
The selection box itself is just a property of the particular item you've selected, and is only used if the criterion is set to a value other than 'Any'. If you had it left on it's defaults then it's set to Any and would have moved all of the component types as you indicated happened. In this case that would have been the desired action, and the only error would have been operator error. If you indeed had selected the Same value from the dropdown box, then this is indeed a program bug, and just another to add to the many already requiring some form of attention. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Wiseman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:17 PM Subject: [PEDA] P99 SP6 bug in "part type" global move? > P99's just wasted a few more minutes of my life... > Having placed an array of decoupling capacitors, I (as usual) > wanted to place all the part types on top of each other.
