Hi,

I have a problem with symbols connectionpoints that do not match the snap to grid.
If you have to adjust a line it's impossible to get straight lines...

Is there a way round that?

Rightclick on the UDP in the product Browser and choose Edit Symbols - this opens the freeform Symbol Editor where you can make any changes you want. Remember to save changes when you exit Symbol Edit mode.

Ok, I understand how to edit an UDP but how do I ensure that the nodes are on a snap point in the symbol editor?

Connection points (nodes) are created dynamically when a symbol is inserted into a document.

The connection point is created where the end of an IO stub meets the outline of the symbol (the red rectangle).

In the Symbol Editor in the Block Schematic tab, the default grid size is 2.5mm, to match the grid size of Block Schematic drawings. Do not alter this grid size.

So, as long as your IO stub meets the outline on a grid point in the Symbol Editor mode, it will create a connection point on a gridpoint when the symbol is inserted into a document.
