      I'm doing a kitchen design and I found a dishwasher in the Warehouse. When I copy and paste the dishwasher into my drawing I can move it freely initially. Then when I try to move it again, it aways snaps back to a specific location. When I attempt to move it, I click once on the component, then move my curser and it looks like it's going to move to my desired location, then when I click again, it snaps back to where it started.

      I'm very new with SU so I'm thinking there is something basic that I'm not understanding. I have searched the forums but can't find an answer.

        It sounds to me as if the component has been geo-located by the author. Perhaps the simplest way to un-geo-locate it is to explode it and make a new component of it.

              Glad to help, Paul.

              Dave, I don't know how that has anything to do with the problem Paul reported but thanks for the screen shot.
