When moving a part, if the option stretch etch is selected, you won't
see the rat, if the option stretch etch is not selected, you will see
the rat. If that helps etc..

Gene,
I've been on 15.1 for months and have just moved to 15.2. Yes
on 15.2 the rats do show when you move a part off of its connection
(even if you have all rats turned off). I can't remember if you can
modify this behavior or not, other than putting a "NO_RAT" property on
the net.
Check for this, Edit -> Properties, turn on Nets under the Find
tab then click on the pin of the part you think should be ratting. If
the NO_RAT property is, it will show up in the Show Properties window.
The ref des popping up thing looks to be new. I virtually
always have the ref des visible when moving parts (just run a quick
script), so I don't know when this *feature* was added, 15.1? When I
tried out this feature, the symbol ref des on "Ref Des/Assembly_Top"
became visible during the moving action (as opposed to the "Ref
Des/Silkscreen_Top", the other typical "official" ref des). I would
guess that you don't have a choice in which ref des temporarily becomes
visible, why would it matter?

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] dynamic guides... did they change
or what?
Seems to me guides used to rubberband or snap to a pin
as one moved the parts about... I am using 15.2. Did something change
or is there a setting I missed, or am I simply remembering a different
tool?
I have noticed that the ref des pops up when moving
parts too... that is a new action. What layer (group subgroup) must
the refdes be on for this? (sure, I can just change colors and look...
) Is there any control of this?
