You would think so, but the communication barrier is significant. From what I can tell in my experience of providing plans to the factory, they work from old school tech drawings and hand make the templates. It's not done with a laser cutter as I initially assumed, which would allow for much easier and accurate adjustment of the templates. I agree that fresh templates would be the best option, and also useful for addressing the other issues, but getting the plans drawn and templates made is not a quick or simple process.
