Re: gEDA-user: components will not join with gschem

[Peter Smyth <smyth.peter@xxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct, nothing much is on the grid.  Is there a way to
re-align everything onto the grid?

I wonder how I moved it, I laid out about 15 components and nets
(which all joined together fine) and I don't recall moving the lot.

Cheers

Peter.
