Getting part on grid

TH Designs

I just loaded a netlist into a board where the default grid is set to 0.025". None of the parts came in on this 25 mil grid.

What is the trick to getting them on grid? (I hope it is not manually as there are over 700 parts............)

    Response from Cadence:

    The Quickplace utility just throws the parts into the rooms on the board in no particular placement order and does not place them on a specified grid. With the move command selecting the parts individually will place the part’s origin on grid. However, this is not the case if you move a group of parts.

    The software does not have a utilities that either places them all or moves them all and automatically places them all on grid. The software expects that as you determine the exact location you want to position the part you will use the Place > manually command to select and place the part or use the Edit > Move command to specify its move a part to the exact placement point.
