Re: 'Snap to grid'


 

The snap grid may be finer than the 2.54mm. It is a while since i used KiCad, but IIRC the visible grid is seperate to the snap grid.

I set the grid to 2.54 mm, but some parts are not snapped to the grid when first placed. If I try to move one, it then snaps, but It seems that I can place one 'off-grid' and not notice that. I do know that some parts use metric spacing, but I don't have any of them.

Kicad alway snaps to grid in pcbnew you just set the grid size option in the menu

Be aware that some footprints a not based on imperial 0.1 grid nut use metric, the newer and components are often in a metric grid spacing
