I can confirm, that realign grid does not do anything useful with the default configuration of pcb (GTK-GUI). However, with the lesstif GUI realign grid works as advertised in section 3.1.2 of the pcb manual: When choosing the new align point, the crosshair still locks to the old grid, but the cursor points to the new grid point. With both GUIs the realign entry in the menu executes GetXY(). Perhaps this is an inconsistency between GTK-GUI and lesstif-GUI: With GTK the action GetXY() returns the position of the cross hair. By contrast, with lesstif the same action returns the position of the cursor. By the way, the option "--draw-grid" does not work for either GUI. ---<)kaiamrtin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
