I do not have a strong opinion about that. In many cases the best choice is not easy to know, especially for coordinates. So, for me: the simpler the best: round on grid to near (usual rounding) is the simpler. And if the rounding error can create issues for small components, it means the grid is too large. Therefore round on grid to nearest with a grid size as parameter could be the best. (For very small footprints why to round coordinates or sizes ? This is not useful) -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
