Drill Sizes

autodeskguest

What do the drill sizes in the menus mean?  Actual drill or plated size?  Why

are they expressed to so many decimal places?  I need a .061 hole for a staked

turret terminal; do I uese that .063xxx drill size?  I am used to seeing a

simple selection like .061 in menus of simple programs like the ExpressPCB

designer.  What do I wind up with if I just type in .061?

    First of all, you are the one with a less than stellar attitude here.

    You asked a question and it was answered. Correctly, if I may say so.

     

    I come in here for advice, and you flame me.

     

    The answer to you question was certainly not a flame. It was in fact

    polite and factually correct.

     

    Since I paid cashey money for my copy, I have a right to ***.

     

    Again with the attitude. Tone it down a notch or two. You might get

    better report with people.

     

    OK, I'll bite, what is a remotely rational explanation for the long drill sizes?

     

    You can choose a size from the list, or you can enter a size directly.

    What's to explain about it?

     

    Once again: the actual drill size you have to specify depends on your

    board house. They are in charge of plating and miscellaneous tolerances.

    In Eagle you specify the final drill size. Your board house may very

    well need a number that is not the actual drill size.
