KiCad - Milling/ Breakout slots - Is my solution ok/ allowed?

My board requires milling outlines, and I am not sure if this is: A. Ok under your production guidelines. B. If my way of doing it in KiCad is how you expect me to do it I simply added 0.8mm slots on the PCB Outline layer. KiCads GerberViewer accepts that. But it is not so clear in your online viewer. If i click right away on the Drill-layer in your online viewer the result looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/1vj5oOg.png If i click on the outline layer and then on the Drill-Layer the result looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/B4Dd8sy.png The used Gerber/drill-file archive: https://www.file-upload.net/download-12948186/production.zip.html

Two suggestions: 1) Install a copy of gerbv and check your Gerbers using that. http://gerbv.geda-project.org/ 2) Contact support directly before submitting your Gerbers. This is 3 different PCBs in one set of Gerbers so you may be charged for 3 PCBs rather than one with breakouts. :)

> . This is 3 different PCBs in one set of Gerbers so you may be charged for 3 PCBs rather than one with breakouts. I not sure how panelization is defined on easyeda. I can add some dummy traces between the boards and call the slots 'thermal separators'. Would it then be one board?

I'm honestly not sure but dummy tracks to link them together is worth a try. To avoid having tracks to the edge of the boards maybe you could put some large dummy surface mount resistor packages in series with the tracks to bridge the gaps? :)

Yes, we can do that, but this is tree boards, that takes the different design cost. https://jlcpcb.com/quote ![enter image description here][1] [1]: /editor/20180129/5a6ec2c73739c.png

@Tutorials It would be helpful to know what the exact 'single board' boundaries are. And at which point it becomes two boards. I've searched for it but didn't find a spec. so far.

Basically the rule is: if you break the overall board up into N physically separate PCBs then that is not one PCB, it is N different boards.
