i can't argue with you here
we do do most of what you say here including the filenames for the stackup, albiet in the form of
*.GTL
*.GM1
etc

Dennis, I think that you could very well be right, with two files they may have just missed the second file anyway and plated whichever file they did find whether it was the plated or unplated holes. There is a great separation in the quality and reliability of Asian shops. There are those that will compete toe - toe with most any American shop and there are those that just find it too difficult to hold a job for a day or two and get proper confirmation when there is an issue. Fortunately I never ran into much of the latter (just one but in a very funny and non-critical way). One of the biggest aspects to consider when dealing with foreign shops is language. Always consider that their average employee probably can't read even your file names and make sense of them. Then draw drawings with names and numbers because they will communicate the intent that just gets lost in words on a foreign language speaker. (ie. Drill charts that include size and Tool number, possibly a separate column for plated and unplated indication. A layer stack-up that actually includes your filenaming for each layer, then they can do a simple match and comparison without understanding English.) Just think of how you would do it in their shoes if you had a bunch of docs in a foreign language but you had to do the job anyway.

we generally do formal fab drawings with layer stack up, materials, all necessary callouts to build the bds but do not do a drill dwg
because it is in the drill data and saves work
yeah yeah i know but it has always worked in USA :)
i do think that if we had had 2 drill files as i have heard discussed that too would have solved this issue
