thanks for responding terry. for the life of me, i can't get the "focus" off this one designator. i've slow clicked and fast clicked a billion times elsewhere. i'm wiring it now and the thing is still selected. i had the same thing happen on earlier pages of the schematic and i finally got tired of it and just deleted the component and replaced it.
its possible that maybe i need to close protel and reopen it. i tend to leave it open for days at a time, and some- times i notice it starts acting strange and restarting it often fixes the problem. thanks again, miker -----Original Message----- From: Terry Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 9:16 AM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] dashed box around designator On Fri, 12 Apr 2002 07:45:34 -0500, miker wrote: >what is this dashed box, why am i getting it sometimes when >i click a designator and not others, and how do i get rid >of it? It indicates the designator has 'focus'. Just left click on a blank area of the schematic to 'focus' nothing. If you are having trouble with this remember in Protel a short mouse 'click' is completely different to a longer mouse 'press'. The windows control panel mouse double click timing setting has some effect on how Protel decides what is a click and what is a press. I wish Protel would document this completely non-standard behaviour and provide an independant setting for click/press determination timing.
