Thanks again Keith.
1) How do you snap components into the grid you choose? I have to lock a lot of the components like potentiometers and connectors in particular position and I have to put the grid into 5mils in order to get to the mechanical specifications. I made a mistake of moving the other components, now they are in grid 5!!!. I want to layout the rest at grid 25 or 50, but it would not snap to grid. I search in help and no luck. Is there a command of snapping components into grid as soon as you pick in MOVE? OrCad will pick up the component and snap into the grid you set.
2) When you route trace, is there way to switch ends? Say if you route from point A to point B, right in the middle of routing from A to B, can I switch to point B and start routing towards A? This is a feature of OrCad that you route half way, then you switch to the other end and see how it two meet.
3) When I place the components on a net that go to many points, is there a command to minimize the connections to get the most straight forward path? This is a feature of OrCad that is very important.
Thanks
Alan
