[PCB_FORUM] Re: Suppress unconnected pins necessary?

Be careful if you are doing high-reliability or flight-ready boards. Some programs specifically state that inner unused pads are not to be removed.

Ask your board manufacturer on this one. Suppressing

It will give you much greater line to metal spacing whenever
a pad is removed. Which is a lot of places.
But, really, talk to the board house and they could give you
many reasons, I am sure, to do this.
