Add a minimum annular ring for keep-out for non-plated holes in 'Tools > Options > Terminals > Through-hole'. The current method of making the non-plated hole keep-out the same size as the Anti-pad does not work it you need a keep-out clearance larger or smaller than the Anti-pad. |

Only connectors have non-plated holes. We know you want this to be automatic, but this would force every Footprint Expert user to manually update the Options. Right now it's on automatic per the same size as the Anti-pad and that's the way it's been for the past 20 years.  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
