Can a DKRed design contain 2 drill files: one for plated through holes, and the other for non-plated through holes (NPTH) ?

Thank you for your patience @larryg , I did get an answer back for you on your question about drill holes. With DKRed, all holes will be plated by default and at this time the program won’t offer non-plated through holes. Only one drill file will be accepted because of the capability.

The good news is that if you absolutely require non-plated through holes in your design, there are other sources in our PCB Builder where you can submit the two drill files for Non-plated and plated through holes.

@Linzee_1029 is this limit of only one drill file allowed for DKRed orders or can we have unplated holes as well now (2 drill files)?
Thanks

From supplier:
We can accept two drill files. One for plated holes and other for non-plated.
