	Snap on Pin/Pad means in reality "Snap on Grid". It is a [[grid]] based function for easy ~~connetion~~ signals in the schematic and tracks in the layout ~~mode~~. If you come close to a connection ~~point~~ a box appears showing a diagonal cross. If you place a signal or a track ~~within~~ this square, it gets connected correctly. An acoustic signal supports the act of connecting additionally. How big the square appears depends on the grid size. For the schematic we recommend a grid of 1/40 Inch, which equals 0,635mm. In the layout sure fractions of this size are thinkable. The smaller the grid is, the smaller the "Snap on Grid" box gets. If the grid is wide, the snap on mechanism gets rough so that you might not reach the next grid point. Example:<br><br>		Snap on Pin/Pad means in reality "Snap on Grid".
