Hi Jorge,
i need an advice: I am working and performing a very easy schematic...and i try to replace the name (R2 f.i) form the part in itself and sometimes it's quite difficult with the mouse to do it because everything moves in the same time...even when i focus on it, it seems impossible to do it, to separate the two elements (name/attribute and part)...and however, i am sur i can do it! So, what the best way to make it correctly?
Thanks for attention and help!

for unsmashed parts name, value and any additional attributes stay in
the position relative to the part that is defined in the library.

Using the smash command on a part give the name, value and attribute
text their own origins (little crosshair) and make them independently
movable.
