Hello.

I got similiar problems over the weekend - and fixed it by
manipulating the *.pcb file with an editor after backup-ing the  
original *.pcb file.

Just somewhere the files starts is a line with 'Grid' in the first column.
In my case follows after the X and Y values some strange values off-the-grid
which I replaced by fine mil-Values (my design is in inches).

Saving in editor and re-opening the *.pcb file with pcb and all things  
worked fine :-)

Regards,
Hagen.

BTW, it seems to be easier to handle the *.pcb file with an editor to  
align circuits
at all than by endless mouse-clicking.
