how to get ansi symbol of resistor from kicad symbol library
Screenshot (111)

I’m not sure what the question has to do with the screenshot, but your grid is way too small and makes it difficult to connect things. You should probably set it back to the default (50mil I think).

There is then also a menu option to align everything to the grid.

Please explain “ansi”.

First: As Jonathan_Haas mentioned. Using such a small grid complicates working with KiCad. A grid of 50mil usually works best and helps preventing stuff like your encircled problem from occurring.

About your “ANSI”… I think you want the “european” resistors instead of the “US” resistors.

In KiCad these are just separate symbols, both in the Device library and with the names R and R_US. You can use Schematic Editor / Tools / Edit Symbol Library Links to replace the Device:R_US symbols with Device:R symbols.
