Why not set plating to '0' for a unplated hole that is treated as a mounting hole? By the way, mounting holes are really different across fabrication industry and the current discussion of 'do unplated holes' exist doesn't really capture that. Why is that? I'm sure without as much experience as others in the thread that I've seen insulated, conducting, unplated, masked, unmasked, dot unmasked styles for mounting holes all in a wide swath of electronics manufacture (no aerospace though). A variety of purposes and conditions for use in differing designs. As for clearance, these values affect long term stability and usability. otoh, part packing in design, and repair/reworkability down the road. Blind and buried vias are an interesteing topic, but to me not relevant to footprint support - what do others think? -r miloh alexander On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 1:09 PM, Chad Parker (parker DOT charles AT gmail DOT com) [via geda-user AT delorie DOT com] <geda-user AT delorie DOT com> wrote: > It's because if you accidentally put too much torque on the screw, it can > crack the plating and cause failures.
