Jul 5, 2023 · The "courtyard" is typically a magenta/purple/pink color in KiCAD, and is the X-Y profile of the device.

They are usually slightly oversized of the actual parts.
Dec 28, 2020 · The template designers probably imported/converted the footprint for the screws or were too lazy to draw a courtyard. In your case, it does not hurt if the screws have no courtyard defined, since you’ll know the size of the screw by head.

Sep 6, 2012 · This isn't necessarily an answer on how to do this specifically in Altium, but more of a generic thought: why not simply specify the outline of the heatsink so you can see it in the board layout view, and know it's there, but not have it be something that is used in a clearance check?
Apr 24, 2023 · There are no design rules that directly address this. 'minimum clearance' limits the closest approach of one copper to other copper on the board, setting that to 1.016mm might be sufficient, but this will not work if any of your parts has pads that are closer than that,.
