We have a plan to make the preferred grid sizes configurable, instead of
being hardwired in the menu file and/or code. This would let you set up
your logarithmic scale as an user level config or even different scales
per project.
When this happens depends on users - on you too.
We have many plans. Even tho way more than a 1000 hours of development go
into pcb-rnd every year, we can't implement every plan immediately.
For smaller stuff like this one, it all depends on user pull: so far
pcb-rnd users didn't have high demand for more adavanced grid steps. This
can change if you stand behind this feature with testing, and it can get a
higher prio. (We have many good examples of this from the past few years).
In other words, pcb-rnd is an user-pull project: things that active
pcb-rnd users request are more likely to happen.
Regards,
