This is an interesting point. The ability to turn the snap-to-grid on/off exists since there are situations where you want to draw lines and place text using a much finer grid than you can get with a 100x100 grid. For example, consider drawing triangular op-amps. It's hard to make them look good when the grid is turned on. However, it is possibly true that you never need to place a *pin* with more than 100x100 accuracy. Therefore, I wonder if one of the following ideas make sense: * Have a separate grid setting for pins and nets. Make it 100x100, and only set it in gschemrc (so naive users don't turn it off while in the middle of using gschem)? * Make pins and nets use the current grid setting, but don't allow it to be turned off via the gschem menu item. (Whether you can turn it off using a gschemrc setting is another question.) * Throw up a warning dialog box telling the user about the potential problem with pins off grid every time he resets the grid spacing, or turns the snap off.
