My problem is as follow: All components in my design are in imperial unit, of course i define my grid in mils. But i have a little problem when place the only one component in metric unit, the component is a CS8900Q and i can't put this component in grid :( The problem start when i try to

You have to enable electrical snap anyway. That makes the track attach to the center of the pad. It happens rather often that not everything is on the preset snap. Eg when the pad distance is not dividable by the snap distance. Usually pin_1 of the footprint aligns with the snap grid and the
