     Hi ,

    Attached document may help you . you need to define the pad in shape class & put the origin of the shape where you want the drill  .

    For this type of small form factor better to take guidline from your fabricator before starting .

    Regards,

     hi,

    i'm not totally sure of what you tring to do with the shape thing. 

    From what I understand, I should create a standard padstack but I place the outline of my board accross the hole ? Since we want that hole plated, I don't see any other solution. 

     regards

    That's exactly what you will be doing.  The edge of the board will bisect the holes.  The board gets plated up and then when it is routed out you will be left with half of a plated hole along the edge of the board.

     Hi,

     

    I made my module and I hope this will work. I just send it to the fab house. 

     I would like to know if it is possible to make a symbole dra file with my new board. I would like to import my board in a dra file an changing the side hole to pad. Like this I will be certain that my fottprint is correct.
