Good points you have, Kerusey. Some of you in here have used EDA much longer than I, so your opinion is valuable to me.
I would like to avoid the "variable" rule in your suggestion, so what do you think about this ? 1. 100mil for symbols without pin numbers. Ex: diodes, capacitors, resistors 2. 150mil for everything needing pin numbers.
