you are producing nice PCB's but many times you forgot one fundamental item on your PCB's. And this are mounting holes. How do you want to mount your PCB's in an enclosure? With "air hooks"? Or glue it in the un-professional way? When I design a PCB, I spend some ideas in what kind of enclosure the PCB should fit in and there are always several mounting holes on all of my PCB's.

You have a board prepared with a program that allows any changes to be made. What prevents you from making holes to attach the board?
looking at the PCB posted at post #121, you will have difficultis to place mounting homes for e.g. at the corners of the PCB. Another issue is that the PCB designer placed components right in the corner. This is actually a no go for a good designed PCB.
the PCB has more than 20++ design issues with the ground plane alone... see image
I am not at all trying to look at the picture and guess by it. Walkman gave us the board in sprint layout format and I open that file and see that I can edit the board to my liking. In Sprint layout, the metallization of the ground is done automatically with one click of the mouse. You can put it on and you can turn it off. Small areas of the board that are metalized but not connected to the ground I don't think can cause a problem. I'll pay you a slightly edited board with added mounting holes so you can see how easy it is and not fill the thread with unnecessary arguments. If you don't have this program - tell me so I can send you a link where you can download it for free.
