I've placed an order for PCBA at allpcb for the bling and there had to be some back and forth with the engineer.
In particular,
bom and pick and place file should be .xlsx
the gerber files should contain one layer with the designators for all components. Since I don't want these refs anywhere near the silkscreen layer, consistently mark the refs as visible on F.Fab or B.Fab respectively and make sure gerbers are produced for these layers too.
[ ] [automation] Generate correct bom file for allpcb
[ ] [automation] Generate correct pick and place file for allpcb
[x] [automation] Generate gerbers for F.Fab and B.Fab layers with refs visible
[ ] [0.2/bling] set the correct visibility for all refs on F.Fab and B.Fab
[ ] [0.2/compact] set the correct visibility for all refs on F.Fab and B.Fab
[ ] [0.2/mini] set the correct visibility for all refs on F.Fab and B.Fab
[ ] [0.2/high] set the correct visibility for all refs on F.Fab and B.Fab
[ ] [automation] Generate jlcpcp.zip and allpcb.zip with appropriate fabrication files for PCBA for each board
