I haven't seen that. In fact my sliced pads were actually at the ends of channels routed in from the edge, not at the edge directly. I made the pad hole just a little wider than the channel, and made sure the router stopped just short of the center of the pad. That way I got maybe a 2/3 ring of pad and plated hole. We are doing this because it will be a lot easier to attach an assembly with pre-formed leads to the board by sliding it in sideways then soldering it on. So far we've only had a few prototypes built, but none of the boards had any krud in the holes when they came back from the PCB house. I have attached a small piece of the Eagle board view. Green is pads, red is top layer copper, and white is the outline the board house mills the board to. ------=_NextPart_000_0073_01C5F003.E144AE70 Content-Type: image/gif; name="b.gif" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="b.gif" R0lGODlhIAELAfcAMQAAAAAAQAAAgAAAwAAA/wAkAAAkQAAkgAAkwAAk/wBJAABJQABJgABJwABJ /wBtAABtQABtgABtwABt/wCSAACSQACSgACSwACS/wC2AAC2QAC2gAC2wAC2/wDbAADbQADbgADb wADb/wD/AAD/QAD/gAD/wAD//zMAADMAQDMAgDMAwDMA/zMkADMkQDMkgDMkwDMk/zNJADNJQDNJ gDNJwDNJ/zNtADNtQDNtgDNtwDNt/zOSADOSQDOSgDOSwDOS/zO2ADO2QDO2gDO2wDO2/zPbADPb QDPbgDPbwDPb/zP/ADP/QDP/gDP/wDP//2YAAGYAQGYAgGYAwGYA/2YkAGYkQGYkgGYkwGYk/2ZJ AGZJQGZJgGZJwGZJ/2ZtAGZtQGZtgGZtwGZt/2aSAGaSQGaSgGaSwGaS/2a2AGa2QGa2gGa2wGa2 /2bbAGbbQGbbgGbbwGbb/2b/AGb/QGb/gGb/wGb//5kAAJkAQJkAgJkAwJkA/5kkAJkkQJkkgJkk wJkk/5lJAJlJQJlJgJlJwJlJ/5ltAJltQJltgJltwJlt/5mSAJmSQJmSgJmSwJmS/5m2AJm2QJm2 gJm2wJm2/5nbAJnbQJnbgJnbwJnb/5n/AJn/QJn/gJn/wJn//8wAAMwAQMwAgMwAwMwA/8wkAMwk QMwkgMwkwMwk/8xJAMxJQMxJgMxJwMxJ/8xtAMxtQMxtgMxtwMxt/8ySAMySQMySgMySwMyS/8y2 AMy2QMy2gMy2wMy2/8zbAMzbQMzbgMzbwMzb/8z/AMz/QMz/gMz/wMz///8AAP8AQP8AgP8AwP8A //8kAP8kQP8kgP8kwP8k//9JAP9JQP9JgP9JwP9J//9tAP9tQP9tgP9twP9t//+SAP+SQP+SgP+S wP+S//+2AP+2QP+2gP+2wP+2///bAP/bQP/bgP/bwP/b////AP//QP//gP//wP///wAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACwAAAAAIAELAQAI/wABCBxI sKDBgwgTKlyY8J3DdwwjSpxIsaLFixgzatzIsWPHhxA9ihxJsqTJkyhTRgSpsqXLlzBjyrTIcqbN mzhz6qRYc6fPn0CDnuwptKjRo0gNEk3KtKnTmUufSp1K9ePDqlizapUYdavXr1S7gh1L1qjYsmjT 4jyrtq1blWzfyp1r1SHdu3g9xs3Lt6/Sq34DCz64d7BhuYUPK06beLFjsI0fS84aebJlqZUva06a ebNnoZ0/i94ZerRpm6VPq36ZerVrlK1fyx4Ze7btjbVv66YJeLdvl7l/C2/Ye7hx2sWPK8edfLlz 3nafS4cecrr1lc2vay8YfLvt7t5lg/8P73o8edXmz5tOr140+/ae38PXLH++5fr2JePP73g/f8X+ /WdYgAIKRmCBfh2IIF8KLohXgw7SBWGEiGVH4W0TXthWhhoyZmGHr3EIIlkijgjZhyaeVmKKW63I ImUovviZizKGFWON9N2I43067qhfjz72B2SQAA5J5IBGHmlgkkomyGSTDD4J5YNSTilhlVZWGF2W k8VGwZdgUsDlV6GFaeaZY2KV2ZlsopkmZka2KaeZbzqV2Jx40lknZzrm6SeYeyIF0qCEFmroQ34G atahjDI6kEN5Kgpao5RuiRCekgZVqaMSzZnpU55SFOqnSbWJkZyklsrmRqamWhSqGrX/6mpQssbq 5qxArdpRrbjqpOuut/aaE6+2BiusTcRmlCxBeDTr7LPQRivttM+qRO212F5r268KSZsQtwdlK+64 eFhL7rnTbmtsuOeCaxC68EJrbrzxqqtnt+cyou++jDSbEL30zgvwuRIFPJe77+bLr77aDgyvwA6L W3C9B6+bMLkLMxzxxuWmxPG4Ez9c8b34ipuxxh8PDHHK3kZksFzL/kvtyf2yDPDKNlfrMsUwI3wR HifnfLPHQrfM0Ms9k1wsnUWLjFLT0YaM7l0xi+ozAFCnS3TWUcvsdNJKn2rxxVzjzLXRSIMdJqtX M3t2x0+/3XReVS9U90Bymy03x3Tf/30QrEe/rffeEZe16aETjRr42YMTrvJYh3NqN+A7M7512Vjn TGLkjf4d6UR5X56114+fyPmmf1YUetyWLz415H3+mah9abcIpOyKw1e7VpHh3nZ4u8NoaUS+r/1f 8Goy6TuCyFeVWu4FNm/j8G9KPxWN11kPJ/Vpav8U9seaBH74JI2v1uqbmZ8W+jlyfxz7l6mPFvw8 um8c/V1ieRr+P9o/HP+PkV9ZACgk/wmHgIsRIFkQWCQD/oaBh1HgWCCIJAcy5HeCoeBgypQ6x2hw SRYsSPHEpJgPBqYyIwSUYUzopBCmcGx4YWFfCvNCDL5FhlE6XaVm5xcc5kWHkhPIO/8+Rz7WAHFQ k6NcEeFyxOpcUIne8d5YoJdEGy5HimDxm+esqBwsekWL3+Li/XimNuMpS4z/I+NbwKgQNB5QjW5x 46XkuBsvaoWOWzTjduyIFTZWUY/Zg6Na/NjG3/mwcphzHcFGBkiEGM0ghhSc6KAmtUWWkYQlG1ck W3cSBg7tkorMVtDgRrbRTXJubvsYXTCIrlGm65ChdNzGVglDvClsYbJ8pElyyTJaho1dJnMlL/11 ymHysSp+vBbNjOmsxjETZIxsJEaAlrFnEpN11jwmMmtpNTRZ05mULCW5qIZHgsTMceBUJSIteUlM Lk2FC4FlPCUZS4mRk5tPxGfmOLn/S3rO82vRhKdFtCjPTJqyntnqmxyh6Eh/9pOfpGMnmZqYOIY2 FKIkgaA2i9LE2LGxoBENZ3w62hUiVlKknXRo/EhqKB6CTqUZhWn+LFhDfS5RJI2p6ZduGpPe1ZCn PY1TCoEa1BCKEHdElcnzLJrUlkiwqdgxKlSZ8tSpKqSqVkUIVrP6F6lylaP6++pawipW1JC1rEo9 K1phslW0trWsbxVrXL86V67WNat3tWpep7pXqPa1qX9NamCJOligFpanh71pYpe42CI2lnyPDV9k jzVZYVW2V5fFVWZntVlXdTZVnyVVaD812kyVVlKnVVRqA7XaPbW2Tq99U2zTNNsxYtWWS7fNUm6t tNsp9RZKv21ScJU03CMVl0jHDVJyfbTcHTUXR8+tUXRlNN0XVZdF101Rdk203RF1F0Tf7VB4NTTe C5WXQueNUHodtN4FtRdB7y1QfAU03//Ulz/3zU9+vxIQADs= ------=_NextPart_000_0073_01C5F003.E144AE70 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist ------=_NextPart_000_0073_01C5F003.E144AE70-- ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products
