The Unfix command
allows you to unfix objects on the canvas that have been fixed. This allows
them to be moved. When you unfix an object, the 
symbol is no longer displayed when you point the cursor at it, and the
Fixed field in the Properties
Panel is set to No. Unfix a selected
object as follows.
- On the canvas in eCADSTAR PCB Editor,
select a fixed object. The symbol is displayed
when you point the cursor at a fixed object.
- On the eCADSTAR PCB Editor
ribbon, select Home > Fix/Unfix >
Unfix. The selected object is unfixed, and the symbol is no longer displayed
when you point the cursor at it. Alternatively, select an object on
the canvas and select No in the
Properties
Panel, Fixed field.
Note
You cannot fix or unfix a single segment. However, you can fix the line which the segment is part of by selecting the segment and clicking Fix on the ribbon. When you select a segment, and select Unfix, the associated line is unfixed. This is illustrated below.
