Altium Pads/Hole Style
(1/1)
brue:
Hi
I would like to Style my Pads like here:

with a hole of copper in the middle. So it shoud be easyer to drill the holes manually.
Is it possible to make this?
Thanks

Do you mean a large pad and a small non-copper area in the middle?
If so, just make your pad "large" and the hole "small".

I would suggest using the octagonal pad style if you'd like to mimic this. Be sure to create an annular ring large enough so pad breakout isn't as big of a problem with drill misalignment.
The annular ring is the pad area that is remaining after drilling. A typical recommendation is to size the pad to be at least 80% larger than the hole. I'd have it even larger if I'm drilling by hand.
