How to create PAD with oval drill?

autodeskguest

I would like to know if it is possible to create a pad with an oval drill

for through hole components like DC Jack connector and a like?

 

Thanks in advance,

    Ask your cirquit board manufacturer how he would like to produce it.

     

    I would draw lines on a separate layer describing the movement of the

    center of a mill.  My producer can mill down to 2mm width.

     

    Ask your manufacturer what mill sizes he can use, and do not forget to

    write down the use of that layer.

    I got a private reply from Yomtov.

    -Please use this newsgropup instead!

     

    I think the best way is to reserve a layer for a 2mm mill (or whatever

    is the smallest your manufacturer can use)  and maybe a another layer

    with larger mill.

     

    Then draw your milling in thoose layers in your library, and use line

    width same as mil width.

     

     

    Another approach is to draw the hole edge using very thin line, and tell

    your manufacturer that it is the edge you have drawn.  My manufacturer

    can cut arbitrary board shape that way.  Then you must only know the

    smallest mill diameter he can use.
