I'm wanting to get some boards from JLCPCB made with plated slots and was wondering if anyone had done this recently using EAGLE. The JLCPCB website has instructions on doing slots which are,
From this it seems like all you need to do is draw the slot outline on the dimension layer, however doing so with pads that are connected to a copper pour area will make them disconnected from the pour.
I don't know if JLCPCB are able to fix this before making the boards but I don't want to leave anything to chance. I could just draw the connection manually I if I had to I guess, although I'm not even sure if the above instructions apply to plated slots.
Please kindly make sure that the v-cut lines, cut outs, millings and slots are in the same layer with the board outline. If it is not in the same layer with the board outline, it will be missed. So please kindly check it before you place your order.If it is missed due to they are not in the same layer with the board outline, we will not responsible for it.(If the slots are to be plated, it needs to be with the drill holes in the same layer, or it will be missed easily).
