Drill Table

The Drill Table mode of the Properties panel

General Tab

Title

• Title – the title name string that will be displayed (if enabled) with the Drill Table object. Use  or  to determine whether the string is displayed or hidden (respectively) in the design space. Enter the title name and any desired system/custom parameters to create a meaningful name for the placed view. See the Parameters section in the Properties panel's Document Options mode for a list of the currently available parameters.
• Location – use the drop-down to choose from a range of relative locations for the title. The Manual option is automatically selected if the title is manually moved (dragged and dropped to a new location).
• Font – sets the displayed font used for the view's title string.

  • Use Document Font not selected – use the drop-down menus to choose the desired font type and size, and select the lower buttons to enable text attributes. The associated color button () opens the color selector where the font color can be specified by RGB or HEX value, by free-form selection, or from a range of presets. Note that the slider control sets the color Opacity level, where 0% represents full transparency.

Properties

• Layer Pairs – select which PCB drill Layer Pair holes will be displayed in the drawing view. Use the drop-down menu to choose from the Layer Pairs that available in the source board design, as can be viewed and edited in the PCB Editor, which can be accessed from the Layer Stack Manager. All board designs will have a Top Layer to Bottom Layer pair, while other pairs will represent Via holes passing between or to other layers, such as internal/plane layers.
  The Counterhole Bottom and Counterhole Top options are available only when the PCB document includes Pad objects with Counterhole features enabled on corresponding sides of the PCB.
  Note that counterholes are excluded from layer pairs other than Counterhole Bottom and Counterhole Top, including All Layers.
• Pads / Vias – use the drop-down to select which type of drill hole (Pads, Vias or both) will be shown in the table.
• Plated / Non-Plated – use the drop-down to select the hole plating type (plated, non-plated) that will be shown in the table.
• Border Line Style – the thickness and style of the Drill Table's border/outline. Use the line weight drop-down menu to choose from a range of line thickness presets, and the line pattern menu to choose from a range of line styles. The associated color button () opens the line color selector where the font color can be specified by RGB or HEX value, by freeform selection, or from a range of presets. Note that the slider control sets the color Opacity level, where 0% represents full transparency.
• Justification - select the desired justification by clicking on an arrow that corresponds with the desired justification or the circle to center.

  • Show Footer – check to enable the table footer, which shows the total number of drill holes.
• Drill Symbols button – select to open the Drill Symbol Configurations dialog, which provides a tabular view of all drill hole data and allows the setting of the style and size for each hole symbol.

Units

• Primary Units – select the main dimension unit type that will be shown in the table. Use  or  to determine whether these units are displayed or hidden (respectively) in the design space.
• Dual Units – set the secondary dimension unit type that will be shown in the table. Use  or  to determine whether these units are displayed or hidden (respectively) in the design space.

Precision

Specifies the numerical precision (number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point, with the last digit rounded) for the table's hole size units.

• Primary Units – use the drop-down menu to choose the numerical rounding for the Primary (main) hole size table entries.
• Dual Units – use the drop-down menu to choose the numerical rounding for the Dual (secondary) hole size entries (if enabled).

Columns Tab

Columns

• Caption – the column header text. Select to edit the caption.
• Horizontal/Vertical – the column text alignment. Click to toggle through the alignment options.
• Width – the width of the column in relation to the text it contains. The Auto option dynamically varies the width to suit the widest column cell text.

• Grouping – the chosen criteria will group the selections under one symbol. For example, if only HoleSize is selected, an individual symbol will be assigned to each hole size used in the board. As further grouping options are selected, the symbol assignment will differentiate the additional criteria by creating a finer grouping scheme.
