Protel DXP

[T]

Hello,
When moving a component in DXP, the related wires connected to it keep
their places (Wire dont move with the components both in schematics and
board), anny one knows an issue, a patch to correct this ?
Regards.

In earlier versions of Protel Schematic (and probably in DXP), you can
either _move_ a component (acts as you describe) or _drag_ a
component. Dragging will drag the wires along with the component (but
it can get messy if you drag diagonally).

In PCB, you also should have a choice of move or drag - but I think it
is on the options/board form. If "drag connected tracks" is selected,
you won't be able to rotate the component (if you could, it would make
a horrible mess!)

In schematics press CTRL while moving a components.
I would prefer the opposite.
