Moving PLC descriptions with the Scoot command in 2012

[ddemerath]

We have recently got new 64 bit computers and install the latest version of Acad Electrical 2012 on these 2 machines.  When we insert a PLC module, we like to move the PLC descriptions.  Back in Acad E 2008, you could use the Scoot command and it asked what you wanted to move, all or description only.  Well 2012 also asks and if you pick description only, it also move the description of the module and makes aligning up the main descriptions hard to properly locate.  Is there a fix for this problem?.

You are correct.  I am getting the same results with version 2012.  It appears to be a defect for 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  After you move the PLC descriptions, use the Move/Show Attribute tool to return the module description text back to its original location.  I know this is an extra step but you still saved lots of time by using Scoot to move the I/O descriptions all at once.  Just use Move/Show Attribute as a work-around until Autodesk can get this fixed.  Perhaps someone from Autodesk can chime in and acknowledge this.
