Summary Copy Link Copied
This dialog allows the designer to configure a drill pair for the board, in terms of start and stop layers. Drill pairs must be configured when blind, buried, or build-up type vias are to be used, with a drill pair for each layer-pair that a via spans.
Access Copy Link Copied
The dialog is accessed from the PCB Editor from the Drill-Pair Manager dialog in the following ways:
- Clicking the Add button.
- Selecting a currently defined drill pair (other than the Top Layer - Bottom Layer drill pair, which cannot be edited) then clicking the Drill Pair Properties button.
Options/Controls Copy Link Copied
- Drill-Pair Properties - the following fields collectively define the drill pair:
- Start Layer - the start layer for the pair. Choose from any of the currently defined signal and plane layers for the board as configured in the layer stackup.
- Stop Layer - the stop layer for the pair. Choose from any of the currently defined signal and plane layers for the board as configured in the layer stackup.
Notes Copy Link Copied
- Drill pairs must be defined to suit the layer stack-up style. This should be done in consultation with your board manufacturer to ensure that your design matches their fabrication technology.
