For best results: Turn snap-to-grid-on Do not scale the symbols library. Draw entire schematic first, then scale to desired size. After rotation, press up/down and sideways arrow keys to realign the component with the grid. This library of electrical symbols is freeware. Please dont distribute modified versions of this library. Rather, forward your requests and/or contributions to schlarmann@ieee.org so that they can be incorporated into next release. Please send question/comments to: Mark Schlarmann schlarmann@ieee.org Rev 1.11 April 10, 2001

Move Left Component with a bounding box that is not an integral number of grid units When the component is moved to the left, the terminals become misaligned with the grid. Aligning connection lines with the terminals is impossible because newly drawn lines are snapped to the grid.
Move Left Again Moving left or right will not realign the terminals with the grid. To realign with the grid, the component or the connecting lines need to be nudged.
Move Left
Component with a bounding box that is an integral number of grid units When the component is moved to the left, both edges of the bounding box align with the grid and the terminals stay aligned with the grid.

Move Left The joint bounding box of the component and the text label is shown here. Because PowerPoint snaps the location so an edge of the bounding box lines up with the grid, when the component is moved to the right, the terminals become misaligned with the grid.
How to Move Several Selected Items and Still Stay on the Grid
1) Draw a box that is bounds all of the objects that you need to move (including their complete bounding boxes). 2) Select all the objects to be moved and the the newly created box. 3) Jointly move the selected objects to the desired location. 4) Delete the box made in step 1.

Move The newly created box contains the objects to be moved. Its size is an integer number of grid units. Because the joint bounding box is an integral number of grid units, when the selected components are moved, the terminals remain aligned with the grid. Delete the extra box. The component terminals should remain on the grid.
Golden Rule
To ensure things stay on the grid when they are moved, the bounding box of the object(s) being moved should be an integral number of grid units in size.
