Q: How much growth (or shrink) should one expect land-to-land over
a 16" distance? This has nothing to do with drilling; just master
pattern to actual board size...
A: I believe that's called stretch effect, the bigger the board gets the
more severe the growth (or shrinkage) it will have. The stretch also depends
on the board house and board thickness. The best way to minimize stretch
effect is to group components which require tight tolorance into the central
location of the PCB.

The proliferation of sub .5mm peripheral leaded SMD's is causing
assembly people to look at the overall size relationship
between the master data and the actual board. When solder paste
is stenciled on larger boards (say, 12-16"), the stencil image
many times will not match the land pattern, causing shorts in the
fine pitch area.
My question:
