Countersink Holes and Drill File

PDIENG

I am working on a design that requires plated counter sunk holes in it.  The holes I want counter sunk show in the drill legend, how do I incorporate that information into the drill file so the board house that makes my PCB knows they are counter sunk holes?

  • There is a checkbox on the NC Drill form to include counterdrill (countersink/counterbore). If this is enabled a jobname-cd-TOP.drl file is generated as well as the usual drill files.

    The one problem I have with counter-sink and counter-bore holes is the padstack editor only defines the 'counter-' from the topside. It would be helpful if the editor would flip the 'counter-' accordingly. I'm not one to mirror the holes in the layout and depend on that to get translated properly to the fabricator, so I clearly define the 'counter-' holes in the fabrication drawing.
