Cursor grid snapping

mpeempee
in KLayout Development

Hi Matthias,

Is there a way to allow the cursor snapping to the grid while moving the mouse?
It is quite difficult to draw shapes or reading the coordinates at the lower right corner in the GUI.

Many thanks,
Martin

    There are multiple grids you can configure:

    1. drawing grids

    Use "File/Setup" "Application/Default Grids" to specify one or many grids. You can pick one of them from the "View/Grid" menu during drawing.

    These are mine:

    2. ruler snapping

    Set the grid in "File/Setup" "Application/Grid".

    The different grids become active in the different modes. Drawing grids in the drawing modes (Box, Polygon, Text, Path, Instance). Ruler grids in the ruler mode. You do not actually need to draw something. Just picking a mode is enough.

    The coordinate display follows the mode specific grid.
