Footprint Expert Physical Description

   The footprint name describes the outer dimensions of the package. 
The 16.00 mm = the Lead Span per the IPC-7351 Naming Convention Guidelines. 

The 14.00 mm = the Physical Description of the Package Body (doesn't include the terminal leads, just the package body dimensions).

	I have noticed that as screen shows Footprint Name uses the D1 dimension instead of D. Please can add more details, also how is the Physical Description generated? Footprint Name: QFP50P1600X1600X120-100 Physical Description: Quad Flat Pack (QFP), 0.50 mm pitch; 100 pin, square, 25 pin X 25 pin, 14.00 mm L X 14.00 mm W X 1.20 mm H body
