Quick tip: How close can you route to the edge? When you’re routing traces, don’t hug the edge too tightly (LOL). Aim for at least 5–10 mils, depending on board thickness. If you’re using V-score, push it out further… --- ## [How do you approach trace width calculations?](https://sierraconnect.protoexpress.com/t/how-do-you-approach-trace-width-calculations/2942)
