Hello list, I'm a novice when it comes to sending out PCBs to be made, typically, I etch my own. But I'm just finishing off the PCB for my densest design yet, and I made it 4 layer... while some people have homebrewed their own 4 layer boards, I've decided I'd rather send it off to PCB Train (especially as I want to make half a dozen of the boards).
Has anyone sent the output from PCB to PCB Train? They say they want the drill sizes listed in metric, but looking at the NC drill file, they are listed there in mils. I can't seem to persuade PCB to emit drill sizes in metric - and I'm not even certain that's the right thing to do (perhaps they want a list of drills in the readme file, if the Excellon NC drill file only works with inch sizes anyway). A vendor drill mapping specified in mm certainly doesn't do the job, at least. Anyone got a good guess what they mean by 'flashed pads'? I've asked them, but not got an answer yet (My guess are pads that are a different width than the trace lines. Their technical document says they use 'flashed pads' to recognise the ends of nets for electrical testing). Thanks. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
