Hole Filters

Use the Non-Plated Hole Filters and Plated Hole Filters panels to filter out holes by their size or type.

Plated holes are holes in the circuit board that are coated with electrically conductive material and are generally used for component mounting. Non-plated holes are not coated with conductive material and are typically used for mounting mechanical rather than electrical components (for example, mounting a circuit board to an enclosure).

Click the Tools tab, then click Non-Plated Holes or Plated Holes in the Filter area of the Tools toolbar.
