Upgraded to Eagle 6.2. Now can't move components on PCB created in 6.1.

Upgraded to Eagle 6.2. Now I can't move components on a PCB created in 6.1. I can move traces, and even designators, but I cannot get hold of the components. I can't even get their properties. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You never know when a post of your own boo-boo will help someone else...this helped just now, four years later!

Hi Rickford,

Make sure your tOrigins and bOrigins layers are on, they contain all of
the snap points and without them you can't move anything.

Nevermind. I didn't realize I turned off the origins layer.

Yep! Me too! The layers in the Arduino Eagle file are many and cryptic.
