      I want to have LenX positioned on a grid, so when I move the component it snaps to the nearest grid line I am using a 600 mm grid. Any ideas. I have
      =current("LenX") to read my position, but want to glue to grid lines

      Does anyone have a solution

        Hi John,

        LenX is a size, but you said "move" and position which is a little confusing. Do you want to have the component snap to a position, or snap to a length when scaled?

        If you want the position to snap to a grid, you would use the X, Y, or Z attribute.

        Maybe:

        X: =floor(current("X"), 600)
