Where did you find the footprint specifications for the various

those came from one of the libraries at www.pcblibraries.com.


ah, but if you look carefully, for example at CAPC1005M, INDC1005M, and
RESC1005M, you'll see that the footprints are slightly different.  I
think this is because the z-dimension is different on these packages
even though they have the same x and y dimension.  Of course, I still
think things become messy if different vendors or even different series
from the same vendor have a different z-dimension.
