 === Q & A ===
+    * How do I use the 0.15mm drill bit?
+Our standard process easily handles drill hits down to 0.2mm (7.5 mil), but we have the capability to make 0.15mm (5.6 mil) drill hits as well with slightly more effort.  See our [[pcb-help_pm_0.15mm-drills|0.15mm Drill Hits]] page for details on that.

     - The tool may have done something silly.
 In any of these cases, there is no good solution other than to restart the project and double check all of these (if possible) before starting to re-process. Sorry.
+  * **I can't change the layer/template option in the Import step!**
+Sometimes, for reasons unclear, a Gerber file gets automatically assigned to a undesired layer in the LPKF software on the ProtoMat, and cannot be changed. If this happens, what you need to do is highlight all the polygons on that layer in question that were imported, and move them to the correct layer (right click > Move to Layer). Highlighting a whole layer requires playing with the Layers pane on the left, and then click-and-drag across all the polygons. If there are things on that layer that are //supposed// to be there (e.g. you need to move only some of the polygons off the TopLayer layer), it can be worth just starting the process again, and importing the messed up Gerber first.
+Details of this process can be found in [[https://gtvault.sharepoint.com/:v:/s/HiveMakerspace/ERXPg3zNYL1Fn06aSnZUpy8BwKb8Zc7c-AamOw3U4H3wyA?e=k2br2n|this short video]].
