Question About Dimensions Being Rounded-off in IPC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding the rounding of dimensions based on the IPC-7351B standard for land pattern calculations.
Shouldn't the dimensions being rounded off be the final land pattern dimensions—overall length of the land pattern (Z), distance between lands in the pattern (G), and width of the land pattern (X)? Why is Library Expert rounding off the pad-to-pad spacing (C) and pad length (Y) instead?
Thank you!
