Hi there,

Having an issue with a block where the input output lines aren't lining up with the grid. When viewing the editor for the block, the lines are lined up with the grid but not when adding to a schematic. Unsure how to resolve this?

I've tried all 3 options to align (Top, Middle, Bottom) but doesn't get it lined up.

In the schematic:


In the block editor:


Thanks!

All Stardraw symbols are drawn to align to the grid 'out of the box' assuming they are inserted into the drawing with Snap to Grid ON.

If you have moved a symbol with Snap to Grid OFF, or otherwise managed to cause it to fall off the grid, you should select the symbol(s), rightclick and choose Align to Grid | Symbol Origins (do not use Align to Grid | Bottoms as this will be ineffective, even destructive, in many cases).  Only by aligning Symbol Origins to the grid (shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+O) can you be sure the symbol is correctly positioned relative to the grid.

With regard to compound symbols (where one SKU includes multiple components) you can use the Unlock Cursor to move components relative to each other.  Be extremely careful when using the Unlock Cursor and be sure to check what it can and can't be used for in the Help documentation.

Seriously though, thanks the detailed response.  Solving this issue will resolve most my quirks with this software so far.

Cheers!
