I have been using Eagle to reverse engineer a PSU schematic. I decided I
needed to make a custom device in Eagle for the transformer. I have done
this and it seems to be fine, except that when I put the symbol on a
schematic, after I have confirmed its position, I can't select it, so I
can't move it or anything.
I have done some web searches but I can't find anything about this. Anyone
know what the problem might be?
I am using the free version, and I am on version 7.2.0. Looks like later
versions are subscription only and I am reluctant to do that because they
could take away access at any time.
Thanks

It sounds like when you created the symbol in the library editor, you
didn't place what you drew near the center anchor point in the sheet.
Now that that device is place on a real schematic sheet, it's origin
point is located somewhere far away from where you are trying to select.
Both for symbols and packages, Eagle's selection tool only selects the
parts' original cross hairs.
