Plated Through Hole Settings

autodeskguest

Hi, just wondered where I specify that a hole is to be through plated within

eagle. Is there a specific via setting (like thermals, mask etc), does the

drill config file contain it, is there a specific package I need to use, or

is this Gerber CAM layer/flag. Can't find it in any of these?

 

Thanks for your help,

    It's much simpler: a HOLE is not plated, while PADs and VIAs are (their

    holes are implicit in the layer "drills").

     

    If you, however, generate a single drill file from both layers (drills

    and holes), you will probably get all holes plated, unless you tell your

    board house anything else.
