I don't think magnetic pads cure that problem. Magnetic pads are useful in that when you are adding tracks the track will snap to the pad, however it does NOT (as far as I know) solve the position issue unless the grids of the mod/lib and pcbBew /escheema are compatible. i.e. the pins/pads must fall on a grid point on the layout/circuit that you are working on.They should be, but I have sometimes made the mistake of getting the pins half a grid point off which causes quite a bit of trouble until you notie what you have done :-)
