Re: gEDA-user: Moving refdes on pcb

[Tamas Szabo <sza2king@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I found a workaround! (Read last line:-)

So my experience:

- if refdes selected -> cannot move (I realised earlier, and you 
mentioned too)

- seems, it does not depend on small grid spaces

- by switching on 'only names' moving part is not possible, but moving 
refdes will not be easier

- (I feel) catching refdes inside footprint is harder to catch

- and last, but maybe most important: if I detach refdes from footprint
(I mean catch it for the first time) then moving it is easy and ALWAYS 
successful.

However if I save the layout, quit and open again: ALL the refdes easily 
movable!!!

Just one question: why?
