Not a variable factor, I mean....

Hi Bill-

One question regarding that response:
<snip>
... Another thing to think about is the size of the panel... The
tolerances are much harder to control over a larger area... so smaller
boards would not have as much trouble as a large multiboard assembly panel.
</snip>

Is that really a factor typically? I would expect that even if I did a
small board and didn't have it arrayed out into an assembly panel, the
boardshop would step and repeat the pattern as best fit their usual 18"x24"
(or whatever) panel. Unless the order is for less boards than would fill a
panel, anyway. So... I'd think the size of the board wouldn't normally be a
factor in the manufacturing tolerance.

Best Regards,
-Chris
