Hi,
Is it possible to set the clearance for holes independently from the general copper clearance? I want to have the copper plane free where the hole is if the pcb is mounted with washers
and steel screws to prevent a short to the chassis.
So far i made separate round copper areas with set to NoSolid but this is a pain in the butt.
It would be nice to have a setting option in the hole attributes so one could set it for every diameter possible.
Does somebody has an easier solution or is it possible to put it in the future feature list?
Cheers,
Olaf

An option is to design your own Footprint as a multilayer pad where the hole diameter is the clearance hole for the screw and the pad diameter is the washer diameter plus the accumulated slack of the screw to the hole plus the washer to the screw plus some more to make up the desired additional mechanical clearance.
Then as recommend in (2.2) in (2) in:

find or create a schematic symbol for a hole, assign the Footprint to it then place as many as there are holes, in the schematic.
If you add a net name to them in the schematic you can then add a defined clearance to them in the Design Rules which would then allow you to trade pad diameter with Design Rule electrical clearance to make up the total desired clearance around the hole
