Narrative:
Company filed for las 1 departure, dvc - pre departure clearance. Cleared AACES1..dvc. First fix on las 1 is aaces, and clearance was understood as vectors to aaces dvc, as filed. Departure gave vectors to hitme, which is not on las 1, and we questioned clearance. Vectors were given and no conflict noted. The confusion was due to first fix on filed clearance and name of other departure exactly the same.
