Making a pad with rectangular hole in a package when creating my own part.  How?

unebonnevie

Hi,

 

I am creating a part (an SPDT switch) that an anchor pin which is 2mm wide.

When creating the package for this part, EagleCAD has pad but with circular

drill hole.  How would I make the rectangular hole, in this case, 2mmx0.5mm?

Thanks.

    Why bother?  Unless a 2mm hole would interfere with something else, just

    use that.

     

    I am sorry...I don't understand.  Could you expand you answer with a bit

    more details?

     

    Thx.
