The problem the user was having is probably related to a bug that existed prior to SP5 or SP6, I forget which. The reference coordinate for large blocks would jump to a corner of the block extents. The workaround at that time was to place a pad with lower x and lower y coordinates (or higher ditto), and include the pad in the block. But not just any pad. We needed the pad to be of a size that would keep its *corner*, which would become the new reference point, on-grid. A 200 mil pad would keep the corner on 100 mil grid.

Re: [PEDA] Complex Selection
After Looking closer at the issue, I realized I have polygon fills in the selection that cross the center of all the component pads. When clicking on the center of a pad I was not selecting the pad but the polygon fill, thus my anchor point was the polygon fill. If I use a via placed in the polygon fill I was able to move on grid. I appear that a polygon fill has selection priority over a component pad. -Original Message- From: Kirk Haderlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 5:40 PM To: Protel EDA Forum (E-mail) Subject: [PEDA] Complex Selection I am trying to move a set of components as a complex selection.

Re: [PEDA] Complex Selection
Kirk, what ServicePack version are you running? If I recall correctly, there was a feature/bug whereby the anchor/reference point for moving selections was the BL corner of the selection box - and this was not negotiable, nor on any particular grid. I think this was rectified in SP5, but definitely SP6. As Thomas mentioned, when you Move | Selection, it should ask you for a reference point. When you select pin1, it may sometimes be beneficial to have SnapToCenter enabled ( Tools | Preferences | Options) Cheers Brendon. - Original Message - From: "Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Protel EDA Forum'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 1:11 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Complex Selection > Move Selection should ask for a reference point. > Click in the center of the required pad. > > > -Original Message- > > From: Kirk Haderlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, 18 July 2001 10:40 AM > > To: Protel EDA Forum (E-mail) > > Subject: [PEDA] Complex Selection > > > > > > I am trying to move a set of components as a complex > > selection.

Re: [PEDA] Complex Selection
SP6? elec snap on? sometimes I reckon the amounts first and point in space somewhere for the ref point and make the move you can also use a transparent Jump to location and type in the second point Dennis Saputelli Kirk Haderlie wrote: > > I am trying to move a set of components as a complex selection.

[PEDA] Complex Selection
I am trying to move a set of components as a complex selection. How can I chose a pad of one of the component for my anchor point during the move? I would like to do this so all component pin 1's stay on grid. I get a box around the selection and my anchor point for the move is the bottom left corner of the box, thus my components end up being moved off grid. Any help would be appreciated.
