Thanks, but sorry, I simply cannot work without having the grid "in view" at all times......when youre laying out, you need to see how things are on a 0.1mm scale, then maybe on a 1mm scale, etc etc...when making a footprint, changing the grid is how you space features without having to do geometry or calculation.
When in schematic, one resizes the grid regularly, as well as when in symbol creation.
Sorry but I am convinced most would agree, that the grid needs to be "always in view".
If this is not possible in cadence allegro, then I would say that is a serious problem with this software.
