Solved!

I have a large through hole component which moves everytime I try to place a component underneath it...on the opposite side of the board! How do I stop this 'Auto-move' function, or, how do I get change the way Ultisim recognizes this component?

Hi,

 

The movement is happeing because of an option called Part shoving. To disable this, go to Design >> Part shoving. If this option is unchecked, the part should not move. You can also lock the part by right-clicking on in and selecting lock. This will allow you to place the part on the other side of the board.

 

Hope this helps.

Regards,

I thought there would be a switch somewhere like you've described, I just couldn't find it. Thanks for the help.
