[SOLVED] Simple way of adding mouting holes in Altium designer?

farhada · Nov 18, 2010

Hi,,
I am new on Altium since I moved from EAGLE and OrCad and PADS into Altium due to request from a customer, it is a great tool but something is getting me really frustrated and it is the lack of support for adding mounting holes to a design.

Is there an easy way to add 4 plated mounting holes and 3 non-plated mounting holes to a design quickly like it is in OrCad or EAGLE?

Really appreciate your help,

Best regards,
/Farhad

hi,

you can simply add a pad from Place --> Pad and edit its property.

Thanks, I just created a bunch of new components in a library with the pads that I need, just to make sure I have them handy at all time whenever i need them. My PCB is imperial but the holes are in mm, so I wanted to take them from a library rather than adding a pad myself. It is kind of silly Altium does not have such library already!
