Re: [PATCH] Change default grid size to match KLC in LIBEDIT

 

100mil is very coarse for elements other than pins to be placed. I think
there are cases where we need to change code to match KLC but I don't think
this is necessarily one of them.

50mils is easy for placing pins, just have one grid dot between each pin!
Plus the grid spacing is accessible with the right click menu and I often
have to change it for various reasons anyway...
