Any experienced designer will tell you that grids and mouse cursor "snap" are important - even critical - to efficient design. After all, imagine a schematic tool not being able to recognize the connection of a wire to a pin because it was a pixel or two out of alignment?

But Altium Designer goes way beyond the traditional simplistic grid based systems most EDA tools possess. With the ability to work in a true dual-coordinate (metric AND imperial) system, with electrical snap grids, as well as multiple user-defined Cartesian and Polar grids and work guides - every possible scenario from placing parts to obscure copper shapes will be made exact and easy.
