Re: [tinycad] Grid spacing, software glitch

I understand your problem, tinycad is more for
schematics and not for pcb design, for SIMPLE pcb
design you can use FREEPCB, at freepcb.com download
the full version 1.2 then the upgrade 1.204, its with
all the footprints you need for your project.give it a
try

I've changed my default grid spacing to be 0.1 inch.
(Yes, I am in
America.). I have created some library symbols with
the same spacing,
and they work fine until I have edited them one or two
times, then the
grid spacing of the symbol changes. Presumably back to
the "factory
default", but I haven't really checked that for sure.

This seems to be a glitch, and was just wondering if
anybody else has
had this problem, or knows a solution. I suppose I
could change the
grid units to mm, and use 2.54 mm as the grid. I want
to use 0.1 inch
or 2.54 mm because this is the pin spacing of the IC's
I use.

TIA,

Mark

Is FREEPCB as easy to use as tinycad? Although you say tinycad is not intended for pcb design, it would certainly be capable of this if not for what really is...

... Well, as a FreePCB user, I would like to say that we cant really compare both of them. I started to use FreePCB way before using TinyCAD, and just one...
