Brad,
There are many ways to answer your question, because there are many
different designs.
You cannot say "always" do it this way or that. You have the right idea,
in trying to escape
from the pads of components with a single trace, and not going between pads
to make connections.
In some designs, you have to make compromises in manufacturing, optimal
circuit routing, and time.
Always strive for the best design practices, but be willing to compromise to
meet deadlines, and requirements.

Subject: [DC] Routing thru pads question
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 16:37:48 -0800
I am debate with some people in regards to routing through pads
of components (i.e diodes, caps, Resistors) I was always taught
not to do this but I can't remember from whom. Especially with
the smaller and smaller these parts are getting. But I am seeing
this being done today more often at my work by other designers.
I also see necking down to route in between connectors,
and IC's.
Please let me know what others are doing and why.
I am currently training 2 new designers to my company and I want
to make sure I am guiding them in the right direction.
I never got the luxury of being guided at work but have taken many
classes
over the years from people such as Mary Sugden, Gary Ferrari,
Wayne Pulliam and many more. This instructors have instilled in my
a great set of design philosophies that have made me a successful
designer and I want to make sure I do the same with whomever I get
the luxury of training.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
