I am a beginner on Eagle. I want make a plated hole on PCB but no any pad on top or bottom layers. Or, a plated hole on PCB but bottom and top layers are electrically isolated. Another variation is plated hole with a circle only on bottom or top layer. In all cases plated hole connected with isolated copper wire (trace). How can I do this with Eagle?

  • \$\begingroup\$ Do you think tenting is good enough to guarantee "electrical isolation"? \$\endgroup\$ May 7, 2014 at 12:37

  • \$\begingroup\$ I can't tell -- are you talking about a "via" (layer-to-layer electrical connection) or something else? \$\endgroup\$

Use a via to a track and set via pad size to whatever you wish.
There will be a minimum size to obtain reliability.
Your PCB supplier will (or should) have design rules covering this.
