![]() ![]() You could add a 3D model to each screw hole in the METHOD 1, but you would have to align it one by one, and here its all pre-done. The bonus is that you can add a 3d model of the screw, which makes it much nicer for the final board 3D render. Create a PCB library footprint for the hole (also from a pad). ![]() What gives? How do I make a larger hole then? METHOD 2. Clearly that can not include routing and cutouts. ![]() problems: -if you set annular ring to 0mm you will get manufacturer errors, as you will get a virtual 0mm point surrounded by soldermask clearance ring in gerber files -if you set annular ring to 2.4mm, same as hole size, you will get a hole with soldermask clearance ring (makes the soldermask susceptible to peeling with screw torque) -using a PCB template rules from (my fabricator of choice) for Class 6C - 2 layer - 1.55 mm i get an design rule error saying "Hole Size Constraint (Min=0.25mm) (Max=2mm) (All) 4" which means they do holes up to 2mm. Place a pad on the PCB, set hole size to 2.4mm and annular ring size to less than 2.4mm. I have found three methods used to make mounting holes, none of them is satisfying to me: METHOD 1. I want to make a mounting hole of 2.4 mm diameter for a M2 screw. ![]()
