(And pcb-rnd does this wrong even after selecting all metric sizes > and steps). 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, Igor2
