I think the problem is in the resolution and how many decimal points are used, please try to use at least 4 or 5 decimal points in your preferences. I do know is not realistic but please give it a try... Found the Fix, Thanks for helping... 

by the way thanks for sharing the FED Vol 18 standard, for some reason I did came up to the same conclusions over the time... are you planning to give a quick update and presentation about it? I'm not sure if we can buy it or what its include on it. so a quick summary may help to justify it ;)

I was able to reproduce the issue using 4 place calculations. 

When I use 3 places it works OK. But that's because when 4 places are rounded to 3 places, the rounding is up. 

Try this - use 4 places and for the Minimum Pad to Pad Spacing use 0.2033. 

The new FED Vol 18 Nominal Calculation Mode comes with V25.02 Footprint Expert. 

Switch between Min/Max and Nominal Mode in "Tools > Options > File > Calculation Mode > Min/Max or Nominal". 

The new feature is located in the "Help > User Guide > Option Settings > Calculation Mode Options".
