I've just noticed a small detail that I can't seem to find an easy fix for. I've designed a single sided PCB and in the fabrication layer, all holes are marked "Plated? YES"¹. This may confuse the manufacturer, IMHO. (I know I could include a note in the "Outline" layer saying no holes are plated, contrary to what's listed but it doesn't look very "professional" IMHO.) As per http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_tips these are just names all right but is there a way to sort this out? FTR my manufacturer of choice is EuroCircuits.com and I know I can chat with them to clarify it all but if there's an easy way to avoid that... Thanks in advance for any hint/suggestion. ¹ In my case, the generated gerber file with extension ".fab" in the "Eagle" export type. C.F.
