In creating a footprint for a right angle LED I wish to be able to tweak the position of the legend detail.

On selecting the Layer and then the line in question I find that the properties are grayed out and cannot be modified.

Is it possible to do this and if so how please?

Many thanks
Neil

Legend lines are auto-generated from your Component Dimensions and your Preferences.

You cannot edit them unless you use the "Drafting" feature to add 8 different types of Drafting Lines that you can insert into any part. i.e.: turn off Legend and manually add your own markings.

Any shape, any size, any location, any rotation, any layer...
