Moreover, to create "symmetrical" shapes (symmetry relative to the X axis) like many gates (and op amps) with even number if inputs, you often need to place them at y = + 50 mils and y = -50 mils and 100 mils step between pins, therefore using the 50 mils grid Using (to place pins) *a* 100 mils grid is not using *the* 100 mils grid. So starting on a 100 mils grid is not a good idea. > > On 19 Sep 2017 04:03, "Gaurav Juvekar" <gauravjuve...@gmail.com > <mailto:gauravjuve...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hi, > > > I'm not sure I like this change.
