Can't set airgap for pad separation

I am not able to set my airgap to 3.8 as per datasheet. I can only go to 2.81 3.484 and 4.51 air gap spacing. How do I make it 3.8?

Hi!

Have you tried modifying your horizontal grid settings. You can find this in Setup>Grids...

Just keep in mind that there are separate grid settings for etch and non-etch elements as well as layer specific values.

Let me know if this helped.

Try moving the pads by the proper increment to get 3.8 airgap. For example, if the airgap is 4.51, subtract 3.8 from 4.51 which is 0.71. Divide by 2, getting 0.355. Move left pad by 0.355 to the right. ix 0.355. And move right pad by 0.355 to the left. ix -0.355. Hope this helps.
