anyone else have issues with asian bd houses not spotting the NTPs ?

i use a few shops and have never had trouble, but now with a new one the holes came plated (no pads), wasn't a big deal in this case

i heard some noises about this on the DXP list to the effect that some shops expect a separate drill file for the NTPs

i sent the DRR but i guess they didn't read it or understand it

one time on a different job they held a job because i had a trace too close to a pad (at least as observed looking at a single layer)

i explained that it was fine because they were all on the same net
(joined on a different layer)

they couldn't understand what i was saying

after a series of emails the last one from them was

PLEASE ANSWER - RESEND - RESEND
ENGINEERING WANT TO KNOW
OPEN OR SHORT
OPEN OR SHORT ????

i replied simply
SHORT

and all was well

Dean,
        Without knowing how it may effect things on the rest of the design, you 
could move your keepout to any distance outside of the board outline. Then set 
a clearance rule using Object Type - Keepout and some suitable spacing to the 
point at which you want to constrain things inside the board outline. You could 
set Scope B to a different object type to control the clearance to any number 
of different objects. For your pads near the board outline you could use a 
Scope B of Pad Class or some other manner of defining just those pads that are 
closer.
        Using Object Type - Keepout is no different for layer specific keepouts 
or keepout layer objects.
