MS 12.0.1: How to control inital location of value and refdes text?

[Who_Knew]

When I use an opamp part from the master database, the part number (value?) and refdes are always initially located well away from the symbol.  When I create my own opamp, the part number and refdes are located right by the symbol, typically blocking some pins.  I do realize I can move the text.  What I'd rather do is know what to do when creating the part that makes the text pieces be initially well away from the pins.

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm sorry but there is no way to change this it is usually predetermined by the type of component. In this case, I made a custom opamp and it seems to not follow this behaviour. I'm guessing this has to do either from your pin length or positioning. Try changing that and see if it gets you the proper refdes placement. The closer a model resembles one of our models the more likely it will have the same placement.

Kind regards,

OK, thanks.  I'll try that.  However, it doesn't seem very practical to create a part, then have to mess around with the symbol so that the text fields don't get in the way when placed. 

When I create a footprint in UB, I can control whether or not the component value and/or refdes will show up  on the silkscreen layer, and if they do display, I can control their initial position. 

When I create a component in MS and I choose to edit the symbol in the symbol editor, I should be able to control the same thing.
