Glad to help.

Any chance you can post a screenshot of the yellow box?

You would type display invisible and then LMB click on the PATH property.

Try and avoid using the Section command to display pin numbers as it limits 
automatic swapping in the PCB. Rather, just let backannotation add them.

Hi Jerry,

I did file/open and opened the symbol.  I can't see the yellow box, so I
can't remove it.

Section worked to make the pin numbers visible.  So, any time I place a
component, the pin numbers aren't visible?

I'm on 15.7 if that matters.  I don't find a display/invisible selection.

I'll try that...and that worked.

OK, I figured out how to add a property!  Select what I'm guessing is the
origin (little "x" in the middle of the symbol), right click, select
attributes and that brings up a table I can edie/add.

Very much so, thank you!
