Manufacturing Reasons

To ensure adequate current capacity through pins and connecting wires, routers need the ability to specify how wide wires taper down to minimum width pins that have minimum spacing between them. Routers also need the ability to specify how wide pins taper down to minimum width wires that have minimum spacing.
