Hi Doug  
I bought this up last Nov 22 in this thread

# [New video by Michael; The Factory | Design A Product With Us Part 3: PCB Design In KiCAD](https://forum.core-electronics.com.au/t/new-video-by-michael-the-factory-design-a-product-with-us-part-3-pcb-design-in-kicad/15556)

The short answer is no, I don’t think they will line up. Unfortunately this seems to be a universal problem and can be quite a nuisance. I think someone must have has some sleepless nights thinking up a way to make things as awkward as possible. I think there may be one or two manufacturers that align any pins AND the mounting holes on a standard 2.54 (0.1") PCB grid but it is very rare.

PS  
The solution I have found is to mount the small board then connect the pin positions with a slightly smaller tinned copper wire so they can be bent half a hole to mate with your larger board holes. A nuisance but it is a neater solution than butchering boards to get the mounts to line up.
