Andrew,
No insult or derogatory meaning was read into your comments. I have
read your posts for enough years to understand that typically you don't write
with any personal malice. Well, ahhh, possibly, just maybe towards certain CAD
software developers? 8^o
I just wanted to make sure that the concept of creepage was not
obscured or dismissed completely based on your comments. It tends to go beyond
the basic PCB design in most cases but can very easily become a compromising
situation to the end circuit performance or safety once said PCB is put into
enclosures/environments.
Further, I am not knowledgeable enough to give specific instruction or
more detailed instruction. For myself I typically appreciate somebody just
bringing the issues to light where I can further investigate them myself and
determine if the "car" I am looking at is a Mazda or Toyota and get it right.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

Fair enough. So creepage isn't an IPC term, but it could just as well be. Imo,
in this instance it's fluff and does little more than to obfuscate the
underlying principle. Got kids? Okay, then do this, teach the 4yr old that "NO!
It isn't a tree, it's an Oak...Got it?" or "No, Bobby, that's not a car, it's a
Mazda". To me, that sounds like mud, or worse, like unthinking rote.
