When stacking outlets or switches in elevation, image.thumb.png.73e984a1b682164e9c7c04ca6813eced.png the 2d plan symbols also stack      image.thumb.png.30f66a9dea580d2d640acd9933c89ded.png Usually the electrician only uses the plan, not the elevation when doing his work and can easily miss this.    Any way, other than creating a custom 2d block for each instance, of separating the 2d from the 3d object image.thumb.png.67e3c5a87f6e58d913e9354bc3331ab1.png or is this wishful thinking?

Thanks Chopsaw this does the trick!

For others in the future that may happen across this post, these are the steps to achieve what Chopsaw describes.

Select the symbol to move and open the symbol specification. image.thumb.png.b49fe10fb948692dbff8c73320d865a7.png

Change the X offset to whatever makes sense, here its 8".       image.thumb.png.5ec910a4cd5507e5b62548387121e170.png

This is the result.                                                                        image.thumb.png.3a7044d68689162ced86cbdb95daecef.png

Move the symbol over the amount you input, again 8"               image.thumb.png.37956a51fa08ae69634a839da104c8be.png

The final result.                                                                           image.thumb.png.382cee16384f196cb2683e9eb45a8969.png

 

Hope this helps others.
