   In BGA: The Courtyard Place Round-off default setting is 0,10 mm In QFP: The Courtyard Place Round-off default setting is 0,01 mm Are these settings similar or no? If no, why will rounded Courtyard Size in BGA, and Courtyard Place in QFP? Thanks for any reply. | |

   The Courtyard Excess setting for BGA's are much more robust than other component packages.  The BGA Courtyard Excess is determined by the Ball Diameter.  However, the end user has 100% control of all the values in Preferences. i.e.: the user can change any default value in the program to fit your requirements.  All the default values in Preferences are simply a recommendation and not a "Standard".  Change the values to whatever you want for your personal custom library creation.  | |

| Hi Tom, thanks for pointing that out. It would be nice though, to be able to save a value for the Courtyard Excess in the Preferences file for BGA, CGA and LGA components. A larger Courtyard Excess for Grid Array components is desirable for optical inspection e.g. with an endoscope like the Ersascope.       Volkmar | |

   In Preferences, there is a different courtyard setting for each terminal lead diameter and the user can create as many Terminal Lead Diameters as they want.  Go to "Preferences > Terminals > SM Grid Array's > BGA, LGA or CGA" and there are tables for the various Lead Diameter's and each one has a separate Courtyard Excess.  | |
