Grid Cycling

BarryHardhouse

Morning All,

New CS user... lots to learn.

I'll open, if I may, with a simple question about grids (in the Schematic and Symbol edidtors).

Under Prefs>Schematic>Grids I have the folowing grids defined:

- Imperial: 10, 50, 100 thou

- Metric 1, 2.5, 5, 10mm

Pressing G (or shift-G) cycles through the available grids as expected - but the grids it offers are 10, 5 and 1, no matter what I set up under the preferences. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Sepperately, but related: I can change a grid manually (and tediously) (Right-click>Grids>Set snap grid...) in the schematic editor, but the option is absent in the symbol editor. Is this normal?

Thanks in advanse!

    Hi,

    I don't know the answer I'm afraid, but just to provide some sort of comment until anyone else can provide a better answer, I'd suggest it may also be worth putting your question on the Altium forum too; the link is here: 

     Announcement: CircuitStudio will no longer be sold by Farnell. It is available direct from Altium. 

    That way, perhaps an Altium member of staff may respond, or more eyes will be on your question.

    If you've not purchased CS yet, and are trialing it, I'd strongly suggest moving to KiCad, because I believe Altium are not interested in CS; they only want users to move to Altium Designer where they will support them better.

    Hi & thanks Shabaz.

    I may indeed take my question to the Altium forum (this was just the first CS related forum Google threw up).

    Curiously, in the job I've just left, we made exactly the choice you've suggested - moved to KiCad (from our pervious tool) because we believed Altium were withdrawing support for CS.

    However, the new employers have recently bought into CS, so I need to get used to it - fast!

    Cheers!
