Darryl, I have question ...if you might be able to answer it about the 356 netlist. I have been sending netlists to some vendors, but on some designs we tent all the vias. Does the netlist normally ignore vias anyway. I cant see how a board house could probe a via that we have tented. Any insight how it works?
