Attached is a snippet of > the board showing the area in question. I manually measured the distance between those two items, and it was 8 mils. Remember that SMT pads aren't always on-grid. To manually measure: disable the grid (or set it to 0.01 mil), move the crosshair to one edge and hit Ctrl-M to mark it. Now move to the other edge and the status bars should indicate how far from the mark you are.
