Hi Curtis,

Symbols have an Insertion Point.  This is the point that sits on your cursor when you drag the symbol into a drawing.  For these particular symbols the Insertion Point must be at the bottom left corner of the red outline - this is the point that snaps to the module target in the card frame.

When you drag the symbol into the Library List to create a user symbol, the Insertion Point is set at the gridpoint nearest to where you picked the symbol up. So, when you drag the original DMC-011 into the Library List, pick it up at the bottom left-hand corner.  Your modified symbol will now slot correctly into the cardframe.

Kind regards,

It worked for the accessories from the Offline/Online libraries, but I can not get it to work with the devices that I have created in My Libraries.  I took a DMCO-11 and changed it for the new DMCO-44 and saved this in My Libraries.  It is like it does not know it is an accessory.

On the DM-MD you will see 'Module Targets' running down the left side - they look like a bow-tie rotated at 90 degrees.  When you insert an input or output card ensure that you drop it when your cursor is on one of these module targets - this snaps the IO card into place.

Kind regards,

I also need to know how to lock in accessories to the original device. Example: Crestron DM-MD 8x8 has Input Slots and Output Slots. The Input Card locked in but the Output Card did not.
