One of the most annoying things in #electronics: you can run a trace under a 0603 resistor, but you can't do that under a 0603 capacitor. The IPC footprints are slightly different, taking the height of the capacitor body into account.

@niconiconi this is one of the reasons I don't include footprints with my auto-generated Altium & KiCad libraries for JLC's parts.

however, I *am* working on a thing that lets you turn their EasyEDA footprints into Altium/KiCad footprints, to get around this annoyance.

@niconiconi although the thing will probably have to just be a tool to locally convert them because I don't think there's a way I can distribute the footprints without incurring their wrath.
