Align pins of components

LSAUGE
LSAUGE over 3 years ago

Hello,

Is there an easy way to align components by pins ?

For example, I'd like to have some smd footprints aligned to each pin of a connector.

I can do it manually with the known space between the pins of the connector but I wonder if ther is an easier way.

Cheers,

Loïc

    Can you try the Align Components option that is available with Placement Edit Mode

    What did you select in order to align the pins ?

    I only managed to align the components themself by edge or center
