The new pin snap is a big improvement. I just routed a bus from a TSSOP to a QFP and I was able to do it from a zoom where I could see both parts and still have confidence that I was hitting the pin. At that zoom there are still some issues with the scale being so small that there's still ambigui

When "crosshair snaps to pins and pads" is checked, by default the crosshair snaps whenever the cursor is within the pin/pad copper, even if a grid point is closer. If you hold the shift key, the crosshair snaps to the grid point if it's closer (the "old" way). _
