drill hole clearance - giving DRC dimensios error - how can i fix it

Question

Hi

I'm getting dimension errors on my board on DRC, but i can't understand why because the hole on the component package is 9mm of diameter and this on the PCB corresponds to the small centered circle, however this dimension on the PCB is extended with the two triangles and is over the pads causing an error.

How can i fixe this?

The two triangles are simply the symbol for that hole size so ignore them

The issue is with your DRC settings. There is a setting that specifies the

minimum distance between a hole and a pad so change that to less than the

distance between the hole and the pad.

As an aside. Eagle has not changed to reflect the reducing geometries of

parts and designs so the default setting need changing.
