THT Pad with two drills

You are onto the right path. You may want to apply both a cream and a

stop polygon. Stop to expose the copper, cream for the paste mask if

manufactured by a factory. Think how you want it to look at the other

side of the pcb as well. You may want to apply cream and paste there as

well.

I would use a VIA (if you draw on board) or a PAD (if you draw in the

library). You may want to disable stop/cream for these VIA's or PAD's

but it is probably not needed.

If you draw PAD's in a library, you can connect the PADs from the

connect function in the device editor, so they become one pin. If you

draw VIAs on a board, you just name them (via's and polygon) the same

name to merge as one signal.

Hey Guys,

 

maybe someone could give me some advice how to create a pad with two drills.

So my question is how i can create a package of a pad with two drills as illustrated in the picture below.

 

I thought about takeing a polygon with the right shape and placing two drills inside. As well creating a CREAM shape around it.

Maybe someone could give me some advice.

 

Greetings!

Hey,

thank you for the fast advice! This was very helpfull. So what i did is:

I created a polygon in the package lib and placed two pads inside. As well I did add the cream and stopp shapes on the top and bottom side!

Maybe I just have a misunderstanding of the GERBER Data. I'm worried if it is normal that i cannot see the drills on the top side?

Picture of the package:

Thanks guys for your help
