#123D DESIGN SNAP TO GRID SOFTWARE#

You can move, rotate and scale the grids. You can then do operations such as merging, subtraction, and crossing between solids and grids. You can also have a 123dx file containing the grid. I can then reduce my grid to whatever I want when I draw the graphics for the part (opamp, usb conn etc). Grids are always imported into 123D design and can be STL or OBJ files. If you are having difficulty align your part, reduce the part grid under Edit>Properties>Grid and Units, select 'Part grid' and reduce the 'Grid step value:' When you move a part, the autorouter will re. What I do when I make a part is set my grid to 100 mil and place my pins. When you click on a part, you should see a dot indicating the part reference point and the reference point should snap to the part grid. Also, if you make a symbol and put a pin on an odd size grid, it may not be possible for the connection to snap to it after you put it on the schematic and then change the grid. Since you said some stay connected and some do not, I would suggest you check this. Once this connection has been made, then the connection will move with the symbol and stay connected. While this is true, in order to make sure the pin and trace hit the same grid point, you need to zoom in until you can verify the snap to grid.

Some people are tempted to set the grid point to a very small increment thinking they can get more information into a page. I have used OrCad, PCAD, DxDesigner and PowerLogic and each one has the option to set your grid. I think you just need to take an extra second or so to make sure that the box is snapping to the desired grid line. You still have cases where the object ends up not on the grid.

When cad software places parts and traces on a schematic, they always snap to your grid point and if a symbol pin is on a different grid point from a trace end, they do not make a connection. This combined with zooming in, seems to do the trick. See SVG files Scale button (123D Design), 273-274 Sculpteo.

I don't use Eagle, but I can offer some common problems you could look at.
