I have created a number of component footprints for my pcb designs (Protel 
99SE). When placing these components the Designator and Part Type fields are 
always a long way off from the component unlike the footprints that were 
supplied with Protel. What do I need to do to the footprint to force these 
fields to start initially next to the footprint?

I know that, once applied, I can reposition using the `position field' (which 
by the way already defaults to Centre-Above and Centre-Below) but this has to 
be done with EVERY homemade footprint I have created.

Best Regards
