One Thing I Always Check Before Sending a PCB For Manufacturing

Sometimes, after spending hours routing a PCB, it's tempting to export the Gerber files and place the order right away.

I've learned not to rush that final step.

Before sending a board for manufacturing, I always open the Gerber Viewer one more time. It only takes a few minutes, but it's often the easiest way to spot small issues that are easy to miss in the PCB editor, such as silkscreen overlapping a pad or an unexpected board outline.

Most of the time, everything looks fine, but those few minutes give me confidence that the files I'm sending are exactly what I expect to receive.
