Losing snap to grid

budnoelnew
Hello - I am using PCB Designer Pro 16.6 and when I open my layout and start moving features everything I move snaps correctly to the grid I've established.  For some reason, after a short period of time (< 10 minutes) I eventually lose the ability to snap to the grid WHILE I'm moving features.  The feature will snap to the grid after I complete the movement but it is nice to visually see the feature snapping AS I'm moving it.  If I close out of layout and reopen the snap ability returns.  Any idea what's going on?

    I have the same problem. I do not get to place any symbol origin in the grid points with the mouse. It seems that the grid is not taking into account during placement. Any solution?

    Check your Active Class / Subclass in the Options menu. If it's Package Geometry / something then it obeys your non-etch grid, if it's Etch / Top it obeys the Etch grids. If they are set differently that's what you are seeing.
