When creating a new blank project in SysCap, the default parameter settings for the electrical grid and display electrical grid within the software's grid options are unreasonable.

For a long time, all mainstream schematic design software on the market follow a unified industry specification: the default pin-to-pin spacing for component symbols is set to 0.1 inch. I fully appreciate that SysCap complies with this standard, as it maintains consistent visual styling for schematics drawn by different engineers.

However, I fail to understand the reasoning behind SysCap’s default grid settings of 0.05 for Electrical Grid and 5 for Display Electrical Grid. With this configuration, the visible display electrical grid (5) on the canvas does not align with the standard 0.1-inch pin pitch of components. Furthermore, the overly fine 0.05-inch electrical snap grid frequently causes pin misalignment, resulting in disorganized and unkempt schematics. This default setup delivers a very poor experience for engineers who prioritize clean, standardized drawings. When multiple schematics created with these default grid settings are merged into a single project, engineers have to spend substantial extra working hours manually realigning all components and wires to the standard grid.

Given the above issues, I recommend Cadence adjust SysCap’s default grid environment configuration to a pin-to-pin spacing of 0.1 inch, an Electrical Grid of 0.1 inch, and a Display Electrical Grid of 1. Drawing with this set of parameters will drastically simplify component and wire alignment while producing schematics with a clean, orderly visual appearance. I sincerely ask your team to evaluate this optimization proposal. Thank you!

In addition, SysCap has been released for nearly seven years, yet it has long lacked an option to switch schematic sheet sizes between imperial and metric units. For instance, it is quite cumbersome if I need to change the schematic sheet size to A3 or A2. You might mention that this can be achieved by modifying environment variables, but I would argue that this approach is outdated. Would not an intuitive dedicated setting greatly improve user experience? Therefore, I sincerely request the addition of a built-in toggle to switch schematic sheet sizes between metric and imperial units in future software releases.
