Define a hole in the 3D board

Define mounting holes in a board, not electrical connections.

  1. On the 3D PCB toolbar, click PCB Hole PCB Hole icon.
  2. On the board, click the approximate location of the hole. The PCBHole dialog opens.
  3. In the dialog, set the diameter value for the hole, or on the board, click the circumference slider and manually set the diameter.
