Exactly what is their concerns? I feel you've given your board house
everything you can, since that is what I do as well. More often than
not, it is the inexperience of the CAM operator, not your info. Don't
fall for the trap of renaming your nets to one name for the IPC-356
netlist, since the whole point of error checking is lost.

Subject: [TN] IPC-356 netlist question


Our board house is raising a flag about our IPC-356 netlists.  Their
concern is that we short various grounds due to short comings in out
layout software.  As an example we have digital ground, 1.8V crystal
ground, and 3.3V crystal ground segregated until they tie together
(short) at the power supply.

My question,  are there easy work arounds for the board house?  I do
include a readme listing the ties, the nets they short, and their (x,y)
locations.
