Hi

A new user.

Using Eagle 7.2.0 Lite, how do I know if a new part  has plated through holes? (as opposed to pads top and bottom).

Thanks

    That's a meaningless question.

     

    Parts don't have "plated-through" anything. Parts have symbols and

    packages. Packages have pads, which can be either SMD or through-hole.

    The latter have a drill size and a restring (and elongation), from which

    Eagle produces the necessary data for plating and drilling your PCB.

     

    No mention of plated through holes there.

     

    Now, what you do with your PCB data afterwards is up to you. If you send

    it to a professional PCB fab, they will probably through-plate all the

    holes unless you tell them otherwise.
