6) on http://www.seeedstudio.com > Services (bottom left side menu) > Fusion PCB Service > Product Options:

Qty. : 10 (minumum)
Layer: 2
PCB Thickness : 1.6
PCB Dimension : 5cm Max * 5cm Max
PCB Color : Green / Blue / White / Red / Yellow
Surface Finish: Hasl / Hasl (Lead Free) / ENIG - what does all this means?
E-Test : 50% / 100% - what does it means?

7) after you've placed a P.O. of the board to SeeedStudio, you have to send the board layout to this guys by email but pay attention on this 'cause the guys at SeeedStudio does NOT accept .brd files so you CAN NOT send the LM3409.v06.brd to them before you have to make some 'preparation':

install EAGLE Layout Editor (http://www.cadsoftusa.com/ > Downloads > Download EAGLE)
access the EAGLE Layout Editor installation directory and
go to Fusion PCB Service at seeedstudio website, scroll down and download the "Eagle Design Rule" zip file
open the zipfile, there are two files there:

- extract the file Fusion_eagle_rule_v1.1.dru into the EAGLE PCB Software installation directory\dru

- extract the file Seeed_Gerber_Generater_v0r95_DrillAlign.cam into the EAGLE PCB Software installation directory\cam
open EAGLE Layout Editor MENU File > Open > Board > [ directory where LM3409.v06.brd is ]
after that you have to validade compliance with Fusion_eagle_rule_v1.1.dru: on EAGLE Layout Editor MENU > Tools > Drc...

- on the DRC (default) window, click on load bottom and choose the [EAGLE PCB Software installation directory\dru]\Fusion_eagle_rule_v1.1.dru

- then click on check bottom and the "DRC (default) window" will close

- after tha click on MENU > Tools > Errors, the "DRC Errors windows appears". if there are any error (in my case), just click on error and "aprove it" clicking on Aprove bottom.
then it's time to generate (export) the project files to send them to seeedstudio: "EAGLE Layout Editor" MENU File > CAM Processor,

- in "CAM Processor window" Menu > File > Job > [EAGLE PCB Software installation directory\cam\]Seeed_Gerber_Generater_v0r95_DrillAlign.cam

- click on Process Job bottom - a lot of files will be generated on [ directory where LM3409.v06.brd is ]

8) after that you can pack (zip/rar) all the following files and name this file as D[ORDER_NUMBER]_[PCBSIZE (in this case 5x5)].zip

LM3409.v06.GTL - (top layer)
LM3409.v06.GBL - (bottom layer)
LM3409.v06.GTS - (solder stop mask top)
LM3409.v06.GBS - (solder stop mask bottom)
LM3409.v06.GTO - (silk top)
LM3409.v06.GBO - (silk bottom)
LM3409.v06.TXT - (drill sizes and positions)

after placed a order to SeeedStudio you'll receive a confirmation email with the order number, so you have to:

reply this email:

- in the subject place: D[ORDER_NUMBER]_[PCBSIZE (in this case 5x5)]

- attach the zip file D[ORDER_NUMBER]_[PCBSIZE (in this case 5x5)].zip

- in the body: This is y PCB file for order D[ORDER_NUMBER], Thank

and wait...
