Grid Alignment

I am getting frustrated from having to re-align symbols on the grid. After a short period they will randomly move off of alignment. Yes there is copy and pasting being done along with moving symbols around. Nothing would be touched within properties.

Are there any plans on "print area" as in previous versions?

Hi Rick,

Without seeing exactly what you're doing, it is hard to know how best to advise you; symbols don't move themselves, randomly or otherwise, so it must be something you are doing as part of your workflow. Perhaps you are working with Snap to Grid off?

Is there any way you can describe exactly what happens to cause the effect you're seeing? Recording a movie of your actions would be the best way for us to see what is going on.

Regarding Print Area, yes, this is something that's on our development wishlist, and your request serves as a vote in its favor, but I cannot predict a release date at this point.

The snap to grid is on until I have to re-align. Just copy, paste, and scroll is causing issues.

Hi Rick,

To diagnose a problem we need to be able to see it or reproduce it. If I copy and paste a symbol then scroll, everything is fine.

Please supply enough detail so that we can reproduce the issue you describe. What drawing Module are you in? What exactly are you copying? Can you supply project files, before and after, that demonstrate the problem, along with a description of the exact steps that you take, that we can reproduce, to see what is actually happening?
