    Cannot move certain elements, symbols

    Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
    Version(s): 08.11.12.137
    Environment: N\A
    Area: PowerPlatform Support
    Subarea: Manipulate Tools

    Problem Description

    When I try to move a symbol on a page, only the text moves and the graphics remain in the original position.

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Select Tools > Levels > Level Manager from the main pull down menus.
    2. Right-click any column header on Level Manager and enable the Lock column.
    3. Locked levels will have a padlock icon in the Lock column. Unlock every level except for the following levels which should remain locked:
      ECT_PAGE_TITL_GRAF
      ECT_PAGE_TITL_LOGO
      ECT_PAGE_FRAME
      ECT_PAGE_LADD
      ECT_PAGE_LINENUMBER_REGION
      ECT_PAGE_LINENUMBER_TEXT
      ECT_PAGE_ZONE_REGION
      ECT_PAGE_ZONE_TEXT

    4. Try to move the symbol.
    5. If the symbol still does not move, modify it in Create Symbol and ensure none of the elements are on any of the levels listed in step 3, which are reserved for title block and page format use. Element Information (CTRL+I) and Change Element Attributes (Tools > Properties > Change Attributes > Change Element Attributes) can be used to move elements to other levels. Symbol geometry is usually on the ECT_DGRM_GRAF level.
