Shift is already used when moving, so > I'd have to pick something else. In protel I did this all the time: Press the control key while moving. The resulting grid seemed to be as fine as one pixel of the screen. I think, the better solution would be to switch to a configurable grid size. While we are at it: Please show the actual grid size in the status line. This would be nice when working on symbols. What about a single key shortcut to increase/decrease the grid. The steps would be chosen according to list in a config file. A the moment I press [o][shift-s]100[return] to set the grid size to 100: These six keys and a modifier feel a bit tedious. Yet another grid related suggestion: With white background the grid dots are barely visible. What about gray lines? Is there any way to snap an object that is off the grid back to the grid? I found myself carefully moving a text in 25mil mode to a point that corresponded to the 100mil grid. What about move modifier that makes the object snap to the current grid? (The [alt] key?) Of course, to make this work, there has to be some hot spot in every object. With text this should obviously be point of text alignment. nets should snap with one of their ends. Symbols would need this "point of insertion" defined as attribute. Ok, I am getting carried away... A move modifier that dramatically decreases the grid size would already help a lot. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak kmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://lilalaser.dyndns.org/blog
