ACADE right click menu does not work for objects made with symbol builder

(ACADE2020)

When i make custom schematic symbols with the symbol builder the ACADE right click meny does not show. Instead I get the right click menu for non ACADE objects. What is causing this?

The custom made symbols do connect perfectly in the middle of a wire when I insert them, so they seem to behave like schmatic symbols. Standard symbols from the icon menu works fine and gets the ACADE right click menu.

For the right-click, you're probably missing some key attributes, like TAG1 or TAG2 in your symbol.

For the rest.. It's difficult to say, without seeing the symbol/dwg.

Thank you! Including the attributes TAG1 and TAG2 fixed it.

[rhesusminus]

That shouldn't be TAG1 AND TAG2. It should be TAG1 OR TAG2.

You really should take a class or something about creating custom symbols, becuse there seems to be some holes in your knowledge about it.

Yes, this is new territory to me, so please suggest some online courses you know of.

Linkedin learning and Lynda.com have some classes.

Cool

I'm with a business, doing some research to find a smart software for curcuit design and documentation.
