gEDA-user: Please help with another PCB annoyance :-)
Hi PCB power users --
Another PCB annoyance which frustrates me is that I often cannot grab
the silkscreen refdes of a component to move it. That is, I click on
a component refdes with the selection tool, and the refdes lights up,
but then when I try to drag it, the refdes won't go anywhere.
Questions:
* Is there a way to force selection of a particular graphical
element? In some programs (e.g. Allegro), when you select a component
in a densely populated area you can depress the right mouse button and
you will get a pick list of items which you can select. Once you
select a particular item (e.g. component refdes), only that item
moves. Does PCB have a similar facility?
* Assuming I have the refdes selected, and it's lit up, how can I
then force PCB to move it?
I apologize if this is in the FAQ. . . .
