Hi,
The problem is caused by the fact that your UDP symbol has not been positioned correctly relative to the insertion point, represented by a blue cross in the Symbol Editor. Ideally, a point where an Input stub meets the red outline of the symbol should sit exactly on the blue cross.  This point will then align with the cursor when you drag the symbol into a drawing.
If the blue cross is outside the extents of the symbol then the insertion point will default to the center point of the symbol and this can mean that the symbol will not sit on the grid when you drag it into a drawing.
In the Symbol Editor, zoom out until you see the blue cross and then move the symbol so that the inner end of an IO stub sits exactly on the blue cross.
When fixed, delete the symbol from your drawing and then drag it back into the drawing from the Available Symbols Palette and all will be well.
I hope this is helpful.


Kind regards,

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!
