> 1. How do you put pcb mounting holes in the board, say for 10-32 screws?
Use a footprint. It should have one pin, with or without a copper annulus and with or without copper plating in the hole. pcbs are often mounted with 4-40's and 6-32's depending on how heavy they are. #10 screws are pretty big ... I've seen boards break while leaving the 4-40's in place, so there may not be any reason to go larger. you may want to add a circle around the hole to allow for the space the head/washer/safe-area. > 2. Can someone recommend fab houses to make pcbs? I often use advanced circuits. Their barebones service has been good for me, as well as production. Use free-dfm first and be warned they are not inexpensive. Read the list archives for some in-depth coverage of this topic, as usual. Several geda-users have compiled in-depth tables of costs and capabilities of different board houses.
