Forcing grid / angle alignment

autodeskguest

When I'm moving a PCB trace (which had previously been moved off the primary

grid), what is the simplest way to tell Eagle "put this trace back on the

primary grid"? Another time I've wanted to do this is when I ended up

needing to change to more aggressive design rules, and switched from a

10-mil primary grid to a 7-mil grid--new traces worked great, but squeezing

the existing ones closer together was a major nuisance.

 

Similarly, when moving a trace, what is the easiest way to tell Eagle "make

this trace exactly 90 (or 45) degree aligned"?

 

If there isn't an easy keystroke/mouse combo already defined, is there some

command sequence I could bind to a key?

    Ctrl MOVE: move and snap the element on the current grid.

    SPLIT: break the wire in segments, you can choose the angle with the right

    button of the mouse.
