Option changing (text size/gridding/snap etc...)

• Text Size... This command pops up a dialog box which allows you to specify the text size of all text (including attributes placed with the Add/Attribute... dialog box).

  The text size is in points (1/72"). The default text size is 10 point text. The smallest text size is 2 points.

• Toggle Grid Toggles the visible grid

• Toggle Snap Toggles the snap. Be very careful using this. Connections between pins and nets (and nets to nets) depends on being exactly connected. Turning of the grid will almost guarantee that nets/pins do not connect.

  Before you translate a symbol using Edit/Symbol Translate, make sure the snap is on.

  When snap mode is off, the text "Snap Off" will appear in the lower, righthand corner.

• Snap Grid Spacing... This option brings up a dialog box which allows you to change the snap grid spacing (not the grid spacing). The units for this spacing are mils.

  Before you translate a symbol using Edit/Symbol Translate, make sure this spacing is set to 100.

• Toggle Outline Toggles between drawing the outline of the current selection or just drawing a box when doing moves/copies/component and text places. The outline mode looks better, but tends to be significantly slower than using the box (bounding box) mode.

• Show Log Window This option displays the log window if it has been closed or disabled from being displayed when you start up gschem.

• Show Coord Window This option displays a dialog box which displays the current x, y location of the mouse pointer in screen (pixels) and world coordinates (mils)
