I've created a rod and shelf symbol with the text R&S on it, how do I stop the attributes window from opening when I place it?

 

I've created other symbols with text in them before and it wasn't a issue.(ver14) has some thing changed with 2020?

 

 

 

Thanks

When you create a symbol with notes included, you get a window that asks you to select editable text.  You must have checked it while creating the symbol.  Just explode the symbol and recreate it using "one step" and leave the checkbox for editable notes empty.

Is this something you can edit the text in the symbol, if you want.

 

If not, that would be a nice option, and it would keep the symbol together to move as 1,

instead of exploding and editing the text

Yes, it is.
