I just finished bringing up some boards I had done by apcircutis and I was
VERY dissatified with the results.  Over 60% of my vias were not thru

this board is very high and it was very, very frustating.

In defense of ap however I don't know if it was something that I did wrong
with my board specifications that caused it or if it was just apcircuits
quality.  Has any one else experienced this?

One thing that really chapped me was that I had a part that the pad size and
the hole size  were equal and ended up a big via from my power plane to my
ground plane.   I would have thought that they would have caught such a
glaring error when doing the film.
