Part-7:
Above, it was stressed that when entering a schematic that the grid be set to 0.1" so that the pins and nets will meet. This is extremely important.
However, there will be situations where you want to compress many parallel nets into a smaller space to keep the schematic size manageable. Simply change the grid to 0.05" or whatever is suitable, move the nets to be closer in the schematic portion where many run in parallel, then reset the grid back to 0.1" before laying down new components. Of course, you can do this with the routing of a single trace where you just want tighter spacing.
Also as mentioned, to make the positioning of NAMES, VALUES and other TEXT more appealing, changing the grid to 0.05" or 0.025" for the text movement is convenient, but remember to immediately reset the grid to 0.1".
It is unfortunate in later Eagle versions that the default for the schematic editor is 0.05", the same as for the layout editor.
