    Check your catch factor and select factor settings, by default they

    should be 5% and 2% respectively. Perhaps on a MAC this is different or

    the OS interprets the values differently it may be worth playing with

    them to get everything working nicely. Try 7% and 3% or maybe 8% and 4%.

    It's not that - you can zoom in all you want, and virtually hover over the exact centre of the pad, and it won't "ping" to let you know it's connected.

     

    It even happens if you route a wire into another wire - if the other wire is on the grid, it doesn't think you've finished, so you have to double-click to stop it carrying on.
