    I hav set an Autocad drawing of a building floor as the background and am positioning the cbus buttons according to their actual locations on the drawing. When I click the visual properties->position tab and adjust the fine positioning it gets positioned to the location I want but if i try to select it again it repositions itself to the closest default position.

    This is a problem since I hav 2 towers and each upto 50 floors and each floor is on a seperate page and all the floors have the same layout. If I could select the buttons without them repositioning I could positon them on a single floor and copy paste it on the pages keeping the position of the buttons the same.

    Is there some way to overcome this?

    under >Project>Grid, you can change the grid line number, down to 1. You can also turn off "snap size to grid" which we give you more control.

    Thanks! ________.

    That helped. :D

    But is it possible to create custom shapes and rotate the buttons?

    You can create any shape/button with a program like Paintshop Pro (your only limited by how much time you want to spend). You can use any sort of bitmap/jpeg etc as a button.
    If you select 'Custom' under Visual Properties > Image - under the component properties - you can add any pic you want for the "active" and "inactive" state of the button.
