eagle drill hole sizes

2006-06-12 by Daryl Sayers

Hi All,

I have just installed eagle onto my machine after using autotrax for ages. I
have completed my first board and have printed it out in preperation for using
the TTS method to transfer my image to coper. The first thing I noticed was
that the drill hole sizes seem to be the actual drill size. This means that
there is not much copper left in the pad. When using easyplot there was a
'Pad hole guide size' in the setup options that allowed me to make the
drill hole smaller (20mil). This guides the drill bit to the centre when
drilling. Is there an option in eagle to make all the drill hole sizes small
so it makes it easier to drill later.
