Sometimes that happens when (1) you're mixing metric and english grids, or (2) you accidentally pick it up (or put it down) from a pad-snap instead of a grid point. Disable snap-to-pad when moving the whole board. To fix it, you'll need snap-to-pad ON. Select the whole board again, and pick it up from the outline's endpoints (making sure you snap to those), then put it down on a grid point. > Also I wonder what the units are for the gerber drill hole cnc file? > Can I set the units for that somewhere? Inch, no. You can edit src/hid/gerber/gerber.c if you really need metric. > Is there a sparse display buffer option, so that when I have the > whole bord in the copy buffer pcb doesn't draw the outline of all > parts and therefor moves the buffer quicker? No. You could try the lesstif gui, it has a different draw-board method and, while not always faster, sometimes has a better response time. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
