We just had a couple of PWB types built incorrectly due to bad electronic
data being sent to our board houses.  Unfortunately we did not catch either
problem until we had fully assembled the boards.

Problem A was due to the wrong aperture file being sent out resulting in no
power plane connections.   Problem B was due to an old design tool which
did not show a "filled in" power plane which was required.  No netlist data
was available for either design.

We would like to continue with an all electronic process but need some
fool-proof checks that will detect if we send some incorrect file(s)/data
or our board house does something wrong.  I'm sure companies are doing this
sucessfully all the time (and all electronic).  How are people making this
process work well for them?
