Grid Adjustment in Project Sheet

Written by Arthur Hoerlle | Feb 17, 2022

In this article, you can check how to configure the E3.series grid so that, when zooming in on the project sheet, the grid markings follow and are better highlighted to perform the adjustment and positioning of the components on the sheets.

See the full video article and optimize your processes!

Previously, grid points remained constant when zooming. From now on, it is possible to control whether grid points should also be enlarged when zooming.

Thus, this configuration facilitates the creation of components and symbols, in addition to helping the positioning of devices on the sheet.

How to Adjust the Grid to Zoom

Initially, with a schematic sheet inserted, the project settings are accessed in "Tools" - "Settings...". You can also press the "S" key.

After, access the option of "General" - "Display" and, in "Miscellaneous Options" check the box "Enlarge grid points when zooming".

Click "Apply" and "OK".

Ready, your grid will follow the zoom in the project sheet.

Insertion of Connectors, Connections and Wires

After the grid configuration, the "DT04-3P" connectors are added to the project sheet. As we are using E3.schematic, when dragging the component, the multiline view is displayed, with all the connector pins.

The view is duplicated with the commands of "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V", mirrored with the "Y" key and its connection is carried out with the option of "Multi-Connection".

Simultaneously Inserted Wires

Finally, wires are added simultaneously with the "Insert Default Wire" button.
