Your tool is doing as shown in the first picture, while it should do as shown in the second picture. You can try it with Vertical Header or just about any other THD part.

One more thing - why do you keep deleting Bug Reports that are solved? I have never seen such a practice in any other forum. Usually, when bug is fixed user or moderator marks that topic with a tag [SOLVED]. For example, in this case I had to recreate this bug report, because moderator has already deleted it.

 

The system default is the Maximum component outline but the user can change it to whatever they want in Default Preferences > Drafting > Silkscreen > Map Silkscreen Outline to Body.

 

The Yellow line represents the Maximum component outline. The Green outline represents the Nominal component outline. The White outlines represent the Maximum component outline and as you can see the inside border of the silkscreen maps to the Maximum Outline. The silkscreen outline is 100% outside the Maximum component body size.

 

 

When a Library Expert user posts in the Bug Report Forum and the topic is not really a bug, they are removed as soon as possible. If the bug topic has any educational content relocated into the Q & A forum. 

 

No real bug report ever gets deleted, it gets recorded in the Version History located here -

The Bug Forum is strictly used by our customers to report issues and our programming staff to respond to users that they can replicate the bug and that they have resolved the issue in a version pre-release that is ready to be tested.

 

Once the new software version is released, all bug fixes going back to the first release in July 2012 are posted forever in the Version History Forum and they are removed from the Bug Forum unless the bug is unresolved (then it will remain here until it's fixed or addressed).

 

We like to release software with "all known bugs fixed" and normally do not release software with a known bug in it.

 

Please note that for all PTH types only a Maximum body dimension is accepted.

Without going going into why this is the case, it is impossible for now to map any PTH part to other than a maximum dimension.

A change to this practice is in the works.

 

We think our time is better spent of creating some spectacular new features that will be released on June 1st.

 

However, we do eventually plan on backtracking and fixing the Through-hole silkscreen outlines so they map the same as the SMD outlines. But the timeframe is unclear.

 

I would like to announce that we will be rewriting from scratch Library Expert for 2016 as we need to add many new features that our customers have been asking for over the years but the existing software program was limited to be able to add them.

 

So I can promise that all the silkscreen outlines will match the same rules in V2016.01 due out later this year.
