What sort of shorts are you seeing? I'm assuming that on a 2-layer board they would ordinarily be pretty easy to correct by appropriate use of an knife. Or are they internal/inaccessible? Is that even possible on a 2-layers? Eric who has one successful design through Batch PCB (3x6 board, ordered one copy & got two) and is waiting for another to come in the mail (5 copies of one small board) - hopefully next week. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
