Hole Schedules and Excellon drill with non-plated holes

Former Member

My design has multiple instances of a hole dia as both plated and non-plated holes.

 

The schedule table shows the items and quantity for each, but uses the same symbol for both of them. It should have different symbols.

 

This then carries into the Excellon outputs, and it lumps all the xy coord for plated and non-plated drills into one tool. It should have separate tools and there should be means to generate separate drill files for plated and non-plated holes.

 

Any solutions would be appreciated.

    EAGLE knows "drills" as they are used in pads and vias (plated) and

    holes placed with the HOLE command (non-plated). If you prefer to have

    two separate drill files, you could use the CAM Processor and let it

    create an Excellon file for the Drills layer and one file for the

    Holes layer.

     

    In general the board manufacturer decides about plated or non-plated:

    That's very simply. If a drilling is surrounded by copper it is

    possible to make it plated. If it is not in an copper area, it is

    simply impossible to make it plated.
