Hello,

I was wondering if there is a setting option for this? 

For example, setting the courtyard to always be generated on a 0.25 mm snap grid with respect to the origin.

Thanks,
Chris

There is no option in Footprint Expert to round a Courtyard to a 0.25 mm snap grid with respect to the origin. 

All drafting outlines automatically snap to a 0.01 mm grid system in relation to the pad size and placement roundoff and the courtyard excess value. 

And the courtyard always maps to the Maximum as per IPC-7351.
