I'd like to left align "Hall A Spk 1" under C6.

I tried to make a UDP, but I do not see the function field so can not change alignment.

What can I do?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I assume you are using Auto Labels to set the position of the Function attribute and this has been aligned to a Center location.  This means that the Auto Label appears centered relative to symbols in all cases.

In this particular case - the Community C6 - the symbol includes the IO stub on the left, the transformer, and the speaker unit away on the right side of the symbol: you want the Auto Label to appear under graphics representing the driver, rather than central to the overall symbol.

As something of an edge-case, I think the best and most practical solution is simply to adjust the label placement manually; use the Unlock Cursor to select the label and drag/drop or use the arrow keys to nudge it to the place you want it to be.
