Off Grid (Misaligned) components and circuits in Capture.

yourdreamz

I've imported a project made by OrCAD Capture 16.0 into OrCAD Capture 16.5 SPB, and all the components and wires have become misalligned to the grid. Thus it doesn't allow me to connect new components to the same. 

In my search here I found this link in this forum: www.cadence.com/.../15426.aspx

which mentions similar issue but the solution given needs lots of rework for me as different group of circuits are misaligned by different distance.  

Is there a way to solve this in a more simpler way?

    Make sure the grid setting is the same in 16.6. I recently ran into the same issue. The grid was at 1/2 in 15.7 and 1/1 in 16.5. Gave the impression that everything was off grid until I set it to 1/2 then everything lined up.
