Holes in copper pads to simplfy manual drill
1044 2
Bengt Nilsson 4 years ago
Hi, I am very new to EasyEDA, so please bear with me. If I want to do a home-made PCB, litho, etch and manual drill in my own workshop, it would be very handy to include the drill hole openings in the pads, i.e. no copper at the centre of each pad. These holes will help me place the drill, especially in groundplanes without visible features to guide me. How can I make the Gerber export exclude the copper at the pad centra? BN

Hi, welcome! Here is a manual: [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Export/Export-PCB/index.html#Print-PCB-and-Etching](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Export/Export-PCB/index.html#Print-PCB-and-Etching) and If you are making your PCB, most likely the pads will have the holes there as by default, the drill holes are created automatically. Here are some images to show it: ![Screenshdasdadot_1.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/UyWoOjaqFNaqM3fVq7d3AaCvvO35LJAFIH9bmUmU.png) If I now export it, the black will stay and the white will be etched away: ![Screensweqeqeqweqhot_3.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/VbJoaBgPVZE6AsHEAzaMp1ulHZX23GZuilKgWT3K.png) But from experience etching my own boards, the drill still likes to wobble side to side even with the holes, because the FR4 is still flat, so I take an awl or the pointy part of a compass and make small centering holes and the drilling goes easy: ![awl.jpg](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/tTih17Cbx1fmcF0eFC9ZqEoyz5gfzinqDQHnCv6M.jpeg)![linex-cirkulis.jpg](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/gMlnVB9SOHrRlfo1Rwh9TkCmDyQkI3oDZKP99KwT.jpeg)

Thanks a lot, my mistake was to generate Gerber. Exporting to PDF/PNG gave me what I wanted. Thanks again! BN
