How do I create rectangular plated through's required for mounting this part? [http://www.cui.com/product/resource/pj-102a.pdf][1] The recommended PCB layout is on page 2. I've tried creating a new pad using a rectangular shape but I cant change from a circular hole to a rectangular hole. [1]: http://www.cui.com/product/resource/pj-102a.pdf

1 . In this case, you need to use https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/PCB.htm#SolidRegioninPCB , change the solidregion's type to NPTH . ![](https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/images/latest-upgrade/image03.png) So, you can create any kind of hole, not only rectangular. 2. You can place lots of round holes together, all holes together will be look like a rectangular hole. and this is an example https://easyeda.com/usekgb/component/2_1mm_Power_Jack_new-tzL7tr0Yk If you have any questions, please let me know.

@dillon Thanks for the reply. Does this mean it will be non-plated? In other words, it wont have an electrical connection to the rest of the board?

Hi, I have provided two solutions.The solidregion has no electrical connection, but the place many round pads together just pads, so there will be electrical

Placing many round pads together will be my best option then. Thank you for the help.

Hello, I have the same problem. I place lots of round holes together, but in the preview of the board i only see one hole (the last one)! ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] [1]: /editor/20160719/578e42b027119.JPG [2]: /editor/20160719/578e42bf1d496.JPG

That should be OK. The way to check is to generate: ![enter image description here][1] and then download your Gerbers: ![enter image description here][2] You can check them by uploading the zip file here: https://gerber-viewer.easyeda.com [1]: /editor/20160719/578e46836e42c.png [2]: /editor/20160719/578e46e2e8a81.png
