Pad Trimming at the Body Outline of a Package

IPC Standards does not like the software default to be set to "Trim Pads Under Low stand-off Component", but the feature is still in the program and you have control of the "Stand-off Size" too.

Go to "User Preferences" and select the "Rules" tab and enter any standoff value you want to start pad trimming under component body at -

With the "Lite" version you have to setup all your personal preference rules for each library part.

With the "Pro" version you set everything up once and use it over and over.

The next BIG thing coming out is free FPX file download for "Pro" users. Search, Find and Download thousands of FPX files and never type in any component dimensions or find the right component family or manually enter all the attributes and datasheet links in your library documentation.

As a special bonus, PCB Libraries, Inc. will add any missing FPX file to "Parts on Demand" as quickly as possible. "Lite" users will not have access to this library service to expedite and eliminate labor spent on PCB library creation.
