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

    If you would like to see how you can place and organize parts in Allegro at least twice as fast, see this web site and scroll down to the place command.  There is a pdf and video that explains how it works.

     If you like what you see, then go ahead and request a FREE evaluation license.
