Getting part on grid

TH Designs
TH Designs over 12 years ago

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............)

    Thanks Mike. I just tried that on a smaller job I'm starting and it works well.

    I have found that eventhough quick place does not put the parts on any specific grid, once I select each part for the detailed placement, they will snap to the specified grid.
