custom pcb

e14 Contributor

Can you just design a pcb with holes only where you want them and with no component and wiring layout?  I just want to design a custom board.  Im placing the holes where I know my components will be at on the custom board.

    How can you add holes to a board?

    I always get a Warning about back-annotation not allowing it, and Eagle

    refuses to ADD.

    We have had to add random mounting holes to the schematics, which is STUPID!

    In our experience, only large vias can be added to be used as mounting

    holes when laying out a board, or having the designer add mounting hole

    parts to the schematic.

    You have the options to use Vias (drillings with copper ring around

    it) or Holes (used for mounting holes for example) and place it at

    any location.
