Exactly!  You don't need to show all layers, but you do need to show a drawing 
for each drill/layer combination.

What you need is a drill drawing and drill chart for each
Blind or Buried drill. If the board is small enough you can
import all  3 artwork fab dwg's into one, however, I have large
panel boards so I have 3 separate fab dwg's.  
 
The 1st fab shows layer 1-14 (all thru vias)
The 2nd shows Layer 1 -2 only (blind 1-2)
The 3rd shows Layer 13 -14 only. (blind 13-14)

Hey George,
 
I think you are misunderstanding me.  Yes I have a drill chart for each blind 
drill (one chart is 1-2, and the other is 7-8).  They are the same size, so 
they have the same drill figure.
 
The drill symbols within the board outline are used with the drill chart(s) for 
a reference, so since both 1-2 and 7-8 drills have the same drill figure, how 
can you tell which is which from the figures in the board outline?  You can't!  
Oh well!

As Gene has said, use separate charts :)

Hey George,
 
Thanks for your response.  That's the way I created them, inside of the design.
 
The Fab drawing thing seems funny though: I know they are the same size drill, 
but with the same drill symbol, looking at the figures inside of the board 
outline, how can you tell the 1-2s from the 7-8s?
 
Thanks again!

Gary:
 
We create them "on-the-fly" inside the database.
 
The drill symbols are the same, but the charts are created on separate layers 
so it doesn't really matter (at least in 15.2).

All,
 
When you use blind and buried vias, do use set them up in the board database 
from an existing regular top to bottom via?  Do you create BBV padstacks for 
your pad library?
 
I see in the padstack editor, Parameters tab, you can set the Type to 
"Blind/Buried".  I've tried to create a BBV padstack in the editor without luck.
 
What do you guys using BBVs do?  Create them in the design or in your library?
 
Also, when creating the drill legend for the Fab drawing, if a 1-2 blind via 
and a 8-7 blind via were created in the database from the same top to bottom 
via (the same laser drill size in this case), the "figure" in the drill legend 
is the same.  Is this correct, or do you have different "figures" for the 1-2 
and 8-7 same size drills?
 
Thanks for any responses!
