Yes. APCircuits actually tells you to do this to simulate a Score Line. 35mil holes on a 50mil grid for their Proto Service. Also a line of very small holes, ~10mil to ~42mil depending on various board factors like board thickness etc. can be used along Tab Breakaways so that you don't have to have a secondary sanding operation. See IPC-7351A 3.4.8.3. -- http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/ http://www.softwaresafety.net/ http://www.designer-iii.com/ http://www.unusualresearch.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
