The text you refer to is called a "refdes" in PCB, not an element ID. Elements have internal IDs, so use "refdes" to avoid confusion.
You might want to try a more recent PCB; this was a common problem a while back. In recent PCBs, there are settings to force the crosshair to ignore all text, or ignore everything except text. These are useful for managing refdes's (in my case, I always have one of those flags set). _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
