["Steven A. Falco" <stevenfalco@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've rebased my patch to show the current grid setting, and I've generated it both for the master branch and the 5.1 branch.  The attached patches were generated via git format-patch.

Please consider these patches for inclusion into KiCad, and please let me know if there is anything that I should change to make them acceptable.

	Thanks,
	Steve
