How do I change the restriction around NPTHs?

[jw0535]

I am trying to create a Fusion library for a part. Based on the datasheet specifications, there should be a hole as shown in the image, close to one of the pads. However, this is within the restriction automatically applied by Fusion. This isn't a DRC violation, and I couldn't find any parameters to change the restriction around the hole in the library.

Hi @jw0535,

I hope you're doing well. The part in the library as you created it following the spec sheet is likely correct. What's getting you here is the conservative nature of the default DRC. You should set the DRC to match whatever your manufacturer's specifications are. If you do that and you still have the error then that implies that the manufacturer might not be able to maintain the tolerances for your board.

If you know who is going to make your PCB, ask them if they have an EAGLE DRU file. If they do, you can load this into the DRC and it will apply your manufacturer's limits to the DRC. At that point I'm confident this error will go away.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best Regards,
