0805 Capacitors have wrong footprint #103

Hi There, the 0805 SMD capacitors have very less distance between pads. This will cause shorts when using Cu with 105um. Would it be possible to increase the distance between the pads?

0805 Capacitors footprint is to the manufacturers recommended footprint (yageos i believe)

@issus that does not mean it is recommended for every board. Here is a screenshot from a manufacturer datasheet. You have 3 different dimensions based on desired density level. Typically you should be able to route 2 traces between 0805 pads, currently you cannot route even single one.
