Although I have not tried it, here's what I would do: - delete netlist information (netlist manager - clear netlist) - UNset the 'lock primitives' box on all components - select all, then cut - open the library editor and create a new, empty component - select an appropriate mech layer - paste all on current layer (edit - paste special) This gives you the added advantage that afterwards, this 'template component' can be removed with 'edit - delete' and a mouseclick....
