Can't select components in layout, but can select wires. How to fix?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Something weird has happened with this layout I've been working on. I can't select any of the components in the layout. The cross that usually acts as a handle just isn't there and I can't find any options to restore it.

 

I've attached a screenshot of a capacitor, newly added into the schematic, which I can not select/move/copy/etc. at all. I can still draw wires to and from it and I can still select and perform all functions on the wires.

 

Strangely, this is the only layout affected. My other projects seem to be just fine.

 

Edit, having trouble uploading the picture, so here's a link instead

      This sounds like the Torigins or Borigins layer is off.

    Turn it on and all should be well.
