Hi Kenneth,

DFM is the key. On http://www.smtinfo.net/Db/_DFM.html you will find
links to various DFM-guides that are available on then web. For more
information on the process of DFM (how to do things right the first
time) you may be interested in Moonman's book, see
http://www.smtinfo.net/dfmce/index.html

Best regards,

Daan Terstegge
