Hi friends,

Some of connectors has one or two plastic pitch pin which has not any eletrical property. it should be as NON-PLATED HOLE in PCB. But I can not find how to implement this at library builder.

All the PINS export by Library builder seems as PLATED PIN. Any method to achieve this?

    Thanks for your reply, Steve.

    I have try this in padstack calculator, BUT it seems there is no icon/setting for NON-PLATED HOLE.

    I just try to adjust annular ring to 0 which does not make sense.  I think it should be ok if i build a NON-PLATED HOLE in PCB Editor/PADSTACK

    EDITOR in advance and then replace the pad using padtool-->replacement.

    While I think you mean i can make it using padstack calculator directly. Is it right? could you please help to point  it out?
