Snap

• Pins and boundary to grid: Snaps the moved object to a grid depending on the block type. If it is a digital block, the place and route boundary is snapped to the placement grid and pins with placement status placed are snapped to the routing grid. If it is an analog block, both place and route boundary and placed pins are snapped to the manufacturing grid. Pins with placement status unplaced, fixed, locked, or unknown are not snapped, even if they were touching the boundary before the move.
  Environment variable: snapToGrid
• Pins to boundary: Snaps pins to the place and route boundary automatically.
• Allow pin resizing: Specifies that the pins need to be resized during pin snapping.
  Environment Variable: allowPinResizing
  The Allow pin resizing setting that you make in the Move form is applicable only for the current instance. For all other instances, the Allow pin resizing setting in the Floorplan Global Options form is considered as the default setting. Changes that you make to the setting in the Move form cannot overwrite the global setting.
