Grid preventing propper wiring

Question

Two problems, actually:

Whatever I set on grid options never sticks after restarting the program (I need grid Size to be 1 mm on the schematic - Don't know exactly what Multiple and Alt stand for);
Wiring/Net insist on connecting on the grid vertices instead of the component pins (I did place the components after changing the grid);

Ctrl+Move snaps the component, but changes nothing.

How to fix this ?

Hi,

I agree that inch is less and less used in the world, and it's a good thing to use mm.

In all my board I use a mm grid.

But on schematic, I never change the grid, because of updating all the symbol.

I don't understand why the dimension on pad components is important in your SCHEMATIC ? In you board, Yes I understand but in schematic nobody care about distance since it's symbolic representation (nothing to do with the real form of the component !!!!)

The pin of the symbols need to be on grid in the schematic editor.

The default libraries are all designed for a 100mil grid.

If you switching the schematic to a 1mm grid none of the default

libraries will work properly.

May I ask, why you think to need the 1mm grid in the schematic?
