Snap measurement to copper pad

#1 Post by 3Faze » 30 Jul 2021, 03:07

Hi
I wish to measure up a SOIC-14/150mil footprint in the library to see if its OK size-wise?
But the measure tool does not snap to the pad edges.
Do i just have to make the grid super small and do it like that?

It should snap to the midpoint of any pad edge. If the grid is making it hard to find the snap point, temporarily toggle the grid off by using the [F11] softkey. The grid status can be seen in the hint area at the bottom right.
