This has been asked before but I cannot find the answer.
I am on 6.01 and I want to realign, completely, all my components and wires to the grid. I thought I had done this in the past but cannot find it now-
thanks
Fritz
Start by updating to KiCad V6.0.6 (Or V6.0.7 probably next week).
I find it quite strange people do not update with the bug-fix releases. You can read about the changes in:
To align with the grid:
- First set the grid in your KiCad version to 50mil.
- Select everything by zooming out and dragging a box around your whole schematic.
- Right click and select “Align Elements to Grid” from the popup menu.
With Linux it auto updates when you have configured the repo. With Windows I imagine it’s a manual update.
Maybe we need a flashing icon somewhere on the main screen to report there is a new version otherwise you won’t know unless you go looking.
Thanks Paul-I never would have guessed! I remembered the right click but thought it was global without the selection.
Regarding upgrading I usually do it for bug fixes but have not done this one yet (been outta here a lot during the parts shortage!). I am on windows and as gmc states there is no warning.
Thanks–your instructions worked fine
