Good morning Kathy, Check Design->Options->Options, the "Electrical Grid" there must be selected and the "Range" should not be to smal. If you select a to smal range (snap range of the cursor) and the pad is to far from the snap grid, the cursor can not snap (see) to the pad, because the pad does not aperar inside the cursors snap range In Tools->Preferences->Options->"Cursor Type", you can change the aperance of the cursor it self.
Hope this solves your problem. RGDS Dani -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Kathy Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

I have a question: I lost the snap cursor in pcb file by accident. I don't know when and how I lost it. It just didn't work in these couple of days. When I select drawing lines and move the cursor to a pad or sth, it doesn't change to a square-shaped snapping. I'm sure the Tools->Preferences->Options: Snap to Center is checked. So why still can't I have my snap? Thanks in advance for anybody's help.
