I just installed the latest and greatest 8.0 on a Windows 11-64 machine.
When I open any (well, the ones I have tried) schematics created by KiCad 7.0, the ERC gives hundreds of warnings in the title:
[endpoint_off_grid]: Symbol pin or wire end off connection grid
; warning
@(152.4000 mm, 34.9250 mm): Symbol J4 Pin 2 [Pin_2, Passive, Line]
[endpoint_off_grid]: Symbol pin or wire end off connection grid
; warning
Needless to say, the projects pass all ERC in KiCad 7.0.
After a bit of research (I haven’t found anything specific to 8.0, though) it seems that it has to do with my grid settings. I can’t remember ever changing them from default, they look like this:
I also noticed that if I manually move each part/wire a bit, they seem to snap in place and each time I do this, the number of warnings get less. However, if I select all parts and move them in one go, nothing changes. (I kind of understand it, as the parts’ relative position does not change then.) Moving everything, though, one by one is not really feasible when I have many pars/wires as it is error prone.
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks for any pointer!
