 You cannot change the location of an individual member after it is placed on the diagram sheet. If you move (drag) an individual member of the group, the other members of the group also move. This is because the physical location of the members in a group is defined at the group definition level. |
11. Click Done from the CMPGRP EDIT menu.

You can add symbols that are not components or connector object types to the component group, but you must add them as plain symbol instances with no parameters.
