Re: gEDA-user: Using mm units in .pcb files

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like a base unit that supports both metric and English units and
that allows me to pick a grid such that the pads of metric parts and
English parts always center (with a reasonable tolerance) upon the grid
Allowing me to snap traces to the grid for boards with both types.
