The assembly drawing should be the silk screen layers with extra information.

I think there's a difference between the fabrication drawing that the board house needs for production (which is what DJ is going for, I think) and an assembly drawing that you would use to stuff the board.

DJ, when you say a "flash for each drill", are you talking about a pad-shaped flash, or a unique symbol (X, square, diamond, etc.)? The board houses that I deal with at work tend to want unique symbols so that they can see whether all of the holes in a certain area are to be done with the same drill.

Other than that, sounds good.

Assembly drawings are also used to document the board. Which is usefull for debugging and repairing boards. calibrating boards etc.
