Snap to grid (but not to other components)

#1 Post by stevensarns » 02 Sep 2021, 06:08

At some point DipTrace changed the action of snap-to-grid. In Schematic, I have the grid set to .1". However when moving components, the component lines up with various other items on the schematic which do not correspond to the .1" grid. In other words, it appears that SNAP option snaps to both grid and snaps to align to other components. Is there a way to turn off the snap-to-other-components feature? As always - Thanks all!

You can open "Tools -> Hotkey Settings", find "Enable/Disable Alignment while Moving" and assign a hotkey for the feature. When you move a component use the hotkey to disable the alignment.
