Top layer pad with hole

ffb.boy.30
ffb.boy.30 over 2 years ago

Hi,

I've an old Altium (2016) and I would like to create a top layer pad with a hole.

Actually, when I create a top layer pad the hole disappear.

My goal is to create a 0.8mm pad with a hole of 0.4mm.

The bottom of my pcb will be in contact with metal that why I don't want to use multilayer pad

Thanks for your help

    Out of sheer curiosity, why do you need this hole on the pad? Is it a test point for a multimeter probe or test fixture? If you need a via to get the signal to another layer, why not just tent the via…

    Not all PCB manufacturers will necessarily do this feature cheaply or cleanly. So I'd first advise that you find another engineering solution.

    If it is necessary, I'd advise checking to ensure that "Automatically remove loops" is turned off in File > System Preferences: PCB Editor > Interactive Routing. Electrically unnecessary vias and traces usually get deleted by CS when this feature is enabled.
