Using an object from the Stardraw database.  

I added 6 of the same device.  A couple line up fine.  A few do not and the cable lines are not perfectly aligned.

If I turn off Snap to Grid.  I can move the whole object, but the cable moves with it and is still misaligned.

Why does this happen?
How do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Without knowing exactly how you added the 6 symbols, and under what conditions, it is impossible to be certain as to why they are not aligned to the grid, except that it is almost certainly user error (sorry!). You may have inserted or moved the symbols with Snap to Grid turned off, or used an Align command, or used Paste Array with incorrect offset values, etc.

However, the fix is simple: select the symbols, rightclick and choose Align to Grid | Symbol Origins.

You may also need to tidy up some of the Cable corners depending on how they have been affected by the mis-alignment.  With Snap to Grid on simply move Cable corner handles to the appropriate gridpoint.

Kind regards,
