Hi Karl,

What I do is:

- determine lead dimensions and shape (round, square, flat, etc.),

- determine required hole diameter and define in footprint file,

- based on minimal, nominal, maximum accuracy (soldering technology) 
determine drill sizes of board house (round up and use the "even" values 
as in .022, ,024, .026, etc).

- use drill sizes that exist and are actually sold by drill manufacturers !

- after layout is finished look at the drill report and optimize for 
minimal drill bit changes.

- so .020, .022, .024, .026, .028  all end up being .028 when the files 
are sent to the board house for production.

- routing goes into a separate (gerber) file ... and do communicate with 
the vendor before actual production starts up.

- YMMV to the gallon ;-)


Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
