Hi. JLCPCB allows creating NPTH for mounting holes, and I want to make a footprint that matches the requirement described above: a non-plated hole, a non-copper keepout zone, and a pad around it (and maybe vias in the copper zone). How to do it in EasyEDA Pro? So far I can only make a pad with non-plated hole, i.e. it doesn't have a keepout zone. I also tried:

  • adding progibited region around hole, it does not do anything,
  • replacing pad with fill region in a shape of a donut does not create a pin on the schematic that I can connect to. And if I put an extra pad in there, it messes up DRC (error is pad is too close to fill region)
  • It seems possible not as a footprint but as part of PCB itself, as 6 separate objects: hole, prohibited zone, fill zone (top + bottom), solder mask zone (top+bottom). I cannot put this into footprint though, as it needs a pad and fill zones don't have a netname when in footprint.
