Is there a snap to grid feature in the   layout editor?

Former Member

Hi,

 

Is there a snap to grid feature in the layout editor?

 

 

a few days a go, I had to copy and paste a layout+schematic, that all

worked out fine, but the parts don't align to my grid, ( at least the part

origins don't.)

 

This made it tedious for manual routing,

 

I had to put my parts "back on grid", so to speak, but it would be nice if

there was a "Right-Click" option called, "Snap to grid" for parts, which

will align parts to the nearest grid lines.

 

what do you think?

    Hold down the CTL key as you select the part and its origin will snap to the

    displayed grid
