Can you please sort out this mm mils issue once and for all !

Just had a stack of 4 PCBs back and one PCB has the mounting holes out of alignment by almost 0.5mm so is scrap.  I realigned all key components between the PCBs about a week before shipping but I (and I assume many others) have to switch from mm to mils and back constantly because of a mix of SMT, thru-hole and both metric and imperial mechanical components (e.g. 2mm and 2.54 mm connectors !), and the rounding errors or whatever causes the drift is a disaster.

Haven't had this misfortune yet, but I agree with Mike-- when laying out a schematic, it is deeply disturbing to have components snap to "alternate" locations, causing them to be misaligned with those already in place. I find myself constantly turning snap mode off, zooming in, moving, etc. This is at best a waste of time and energy, and at worst highlighted with Mike's case of useless boards.

This is an old thread, but I also just had it happening that a component with 5 mm pin distance was placed in holes with 5.08 mm pin distance. Also, why the heck does it create holes with 1.5 mm diameter for pins that just have 0.6 mm?

@pudelralf, Aren't those errors in the construction of PCB Footprint rather than an effect of the rounding errors that this thread is about? Errors of this nature should be reported by using the Report Error menu options.

@pudelralf, Was this a System or a User Contributed PCB Footprint?
