Can you put a pad in an area that is going to be cropped?
Can you put a pad in an area that is going to be cropped?
I would like to make a rectangular hole between 2 pads. The purpose is not electrical but a mechanical function. And I want them to be pads to be able to solder a PCB with another one while keeping the slot.
Do you want the pads to be through plated?
So for each pad, you end up with a half-round pad on the top and bottom (and any inner layers if you have any) with a smaller radius through plated half-round hole on the inner edge of a rectangular hole in the inner region of the PCB?
There are ways to do this but to answer your question, can you tell us more about why you would like to do this?
