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.

Accepted solution
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.

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.

Cool

 

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