If you put N > designs in BUT don't expect them to part them out then why should they care? I once had a long but fruitless discussion with a PCB house boss about this. He essentially said that allowing multiple designs (IIRC >4) on one panel would make their products too cheap. I seldom use that PCB house any more, there are others that in effect offer the price they would charge if they allowed multiple designs on one panel. (But might do so in the near future because they offer cheap metal stencils.) -- Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
