Well I guess I will not use the IPC-2581 output option. Ya, I could edit the text in the table but, it will not stay put. If you update your design with a new thru hole part you have to rerun the chart. Then you need to edit the text again. One thing too which I did not mention. The NC Drill output file states plated in the drill summary at the top of the file as well. It gets this info right for the pad stack. Not from the chart on the fab drawing. You must select an un-plated pad stack library prior to loading in your parts. But guess what, good luck building a thru hole non plated pin from scratch now. You cant do it. I'm able to modify an existing non-plate hole to make plated. But, I can't make a plated non-plated. I'm calling this a BUG! They have have to fix this. Its not right. Thanks for your input thou. .![]()
