12 years agoThe reason you cannot have both, is that if you place the region near the edge, it cannot auto size properly.
The silly thing is, auto size is a bit silly really, as it takes away from the whole point of having a region. What I have done in the past is just give it a region so it constrains the component within a certain area. If you dont know the size of the component, then you shouldnt be constraining it to a region. The whole point of the region is that you already know the size of the component (roughly). The auto size is meant to give you an idea of the space needed before you lock it down. But its generally rubbish it autosizing (my previous attempts using this tended to create a region half the size of the chip!)
