I actually always round up by default anyway to at least +0.05mm and sometimes even +0.1mm, just to be safe.<br>If I REALLY need that tolerance I always contact the manufacturer first.<br>I also stopped working in inches/imperial. To many companies and people screw these numbers up.<br>Excellent video Dave!!!!!

Change the t-shirt to a turtleneck so you have a floating head.

The floating head is great, imagine if you had a Microsoft Clippy-like Dave head in your PCB design software, "Uh-oh, it looks like that trace is too close to the pad!"

The floating head is brilliant. I love it

I have never seen anyone green screening and making a youtube vid as a floating head! This is genius, it lets more background be visible!<br>And head is the only important thing anyway.

I like the floating head, takes up way less space this way.

Dave using KiCAD's Gerber Viewer instead of Altium's one. Getting there, slowly, slowly... :)

They seem to treat their specifications in two ways - for some they'll reject a board and not try to manufacture it, but for others, I guess they just make it and if there are any manufacturing errors they can say "well, we told you you needed 0.2mm clearance".
