Danny, I assume you also provided the fab house and IPC-356 netlist to verify your gerbers. (????) If not, DO! I'm hearing so many horror stories on fab houses only doing gerber-gerber generated netlists for comparison! We've been burned 3 times in the last 6 months! They've even done it when we did provide the 356 netlist! Unfortunately for me, the vendor selection is out of my hands, but we are learning what the "low-cost" vendors do. I'm just happy we have some great fab houses in the So.Cal area! :) Do provide an "electrical netlist" to verify the gerber files! And this is especially true if you use 274X. Good luck.
