Hey, Did you ever get an answer to this? (I was just kiddin' ya with my last reply, but sometimes vague questions can't be answered in just a few sentences) anyway, if you still want to know about plugging/tenting vias, you could search the archives for "VIA" in the subject, and you will get more info than you can imagine about the subject Designer Council Archives: http://jefry.ipc.org/archives/designercouncil.html <http://jefry.ipc.org/archives/designercouncil.html> Technet Archives http://jefry.ipc.org/archives/technet.html <http://jefry.ipc.org/archives/technet.html> for example, if you search technet where the SUBJECT contains VIA since June 1998, you will get 478 messages listed by subject, then you can browse through the subjects for tenting or plugging discussions. I'm not sure if attachments work, but here is a summary, since I just did this last month: <<via-plug.zip>>
