grounded hole?

autodeskguest

Normally, I want my mounting holes isolated from the circuit. However, in a

board I'm working on, I want one hole to connect to the ground plane

(polygon). I made a large via with the drill size the same as the mounting

hole drills. And I put a large circle of tStop around the via for the screw

head. Is this the correct way to do this?

    It doesn't sound wrong, per-se, but have you looked at the "mount pad"

    devices in the "holes" library that comes with Eagle?

    Rob - I forgot all about those. Thanks.
