When the Grid origin tool is selected the cursor doesn't snap to grid or anything else. It's practically impossible to set the grid origin to some wanted coordinates. It can be done in a very tedious way by copying x and y coordinates and setting them as text in Grid Settings but I would prefer having the ability to snap to important points (centers of pads and footprints). Otherwise the Grid origin doesn't even have much sense for me.
Another solution, wider in scope but more applicable for general purposes, would be to add the the top level context menu "Coordinates" item which would have subitems:
- Go to User origin
- Go to Grid origin
(- Go to somewhere else useful?)
- Set Grid origin here
(- Set something else useful here?)
That would solve the problem as long as User origin can still be set to a wanted point graphically. Then I could go there with the menu item, open the context menu again (carefully without moving the mouse) and set the grid origin there. |

(EDIT: actually just "Set grid origin here" would be enough as long as I can snap to some point and open the menu from there, my thinking was too complicated...) |
