Meanings and settings of various grids of dxp alicloud ddesigner

When using dxp or alicloud ddesigner to draw PCB, you usually need to set some parameters. Including the Board layer, size, and grid settings. This time we will mainly discuss the problems related to the raster.

A grid can be divided into a visual grid and a snap
Grid, component grid, and electrical grid ).

Visual grid: You can see the visual grid during editing. The settings are divided into lines and dots. You can set the size of the first and second visual grids. The first visual grid is the size of the grid seen at the beginning, and the second visual grid is the visible grid after the PCB continues to be enlarged.

Capture grid: The minimum interval at which the cursor moves. You can set the X and Y directions.

Element placement capture grid: The interval at which the element moves when it is placed. You can also set the X and Y directions.

Electrical grid: the electrical grid is used to move or place components. When the distance between the components and the surrounding electrical entities is within the range of the electrical grid, the components and electrical entities will suck each other.

The setting method is as follows: Design ---- Board Option option.
