Parts misaligned with snap/grid

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

I'm new to Eagle and I'm afriad I may have made a mistake that could cause me some serious trouble.  I have a fairly large (960 parts) schematic.  I've been doing a lot of copying as there are tremendous amounts of repetitive sections of the design.  I'm also using a lot of buses and I don't dry my nets until I have completed naming the buses so that the nets will have a meaningful label.  So I've copied hundreds of parts and at some point I changed the snap/grid settings.  This means I have parts on my schematic that were moved using different grid settings.  The problem now is that when I draw a net it won't snap to the pin of the part I'm trying to use, but rather it will draw the net from the nearest grid point near the pin.  I understand why it's happening but I don't know how to solve the problem.

 

Here is a screenshot of the problem:

I've tried to find a grid setting that will allow it to work but this requires me to make a grid that is TINY.  To make it worse, when the grid is set really small (< .0625 in) Eagle ceases to display the net id menu when drawing a net to or from a bus.

 

Have I effectively corrupted my file?  Is there a way to "snap all parts to current grid" or some other repair function?

    The snap to (press move hold control and click on part) has to be done in the symbol editor. Right click on part in schematic go to open symbol and do the snap on, on the pin. Hope this helps!
