Grid Offset

Former Member

I am missing a possibility to enter an offset or zero point to the grid I selected, With the different Pitches and the mix of inches and metric I often have to switch and it would realy help if I could switch the offset to.

 

Kind regards

  • This is a huge problem for me. Here's the scenario: I have placed and routed a 1136-pin BGA with a .65mm ball pitch. Somehow, years later, when I return to the layout, the part is not on grid and none of the escape traces are either. The whole routing scheme is predicated on the grid. Without it, it's extremely difficult to add anything. In this case, I need to add something to a new pin. The only thing I can thing to do is to grab THE ENTIRE DESIGN INCLUDING ALL LAYERS and scoot them over by some weird amount (0.31456mm or something). This is very inconvenient.

    You know you can move everything in a couple of commands?

         DISPLAY ALL

         GROUP ALL

         MOVE (>c0 0) (your offset)

         DISPLAY LAST
