Frozen device?

Question

I am new to eagle.

Using 7.2.0

I have watched a number of tutorials on create a new part library, although all of them are for older versions then 7.2.0.

I manage to create a part watching a tutorial for V4.x although it was very confusing as a lot of the screen shots didn't jive with 7.2.0

The good thing is my part work in my schematic.

Then thing went wrong.

I created more parts and all seemed to go well, IE; combined a package and a symbol into a device, was able to place part on my schematic.

This is where thing went wrong.

Once the part is placed on the schematic it is frozen. IE: i can not move, rotate, delete ,place nodes or any other operation.

also the part i first designed that uses to work is now frozen.

I have uninstalled 7.2.0 and re installed it but did not fix the problem.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Any leads as to a current tutorial using 7.2.0.

Thank

Norm

I found the problem with "Frozen Device". Being new to Eagle i was careless as to where I placed the package, and the symbol, when they where created. IE: I didn't place them around the ORIGIN. Parts can only be manipulated from the origin, my origin was outside the part there for could not be manipulated, Newbee mistake. Norm
