Plated holes vs Non plated holes

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

I am trying to generate drill data for a board with vias (plated thru) and

several mounting holes (which should be non plated). The excellon.cam job

just creates one type of file which are all plated through. I have seen

drill files from other CAD packages (Orcad and Altium) which generates one

file but contain both plated thru and non-plate holes along with a legend

table indicating what is what. I am using Eagle 5.4 professional version and

I am at a loss at how to go about generating drill files that look like the

ones from other CAD packages.

 

I would immensely appreciate any help in this regard. Any step-by-step

instructions would be most helpful.

    Mansoor;

     

    There was a thread on this subject last year: "How to designate plated vs

    non-plated holes" on Thu, 3 Jan 2008 21:30:53 +0000 (UTC)

    Xref: news.cadsoft.de eagle.support.eng:28721

     

    You need to talk to your board house to find out how they want to handle

    the non-plated holes.  Be aware that some board houses may charge extra for

    non-plated holes for prototype boards.
