content: I need a pad with a 5 mm diameter and 2.54 mm hole, Can some one create one for me? Application is Mill-Max 0355-0-15-01-02-01-10-0 pin socket with a 2.54 mm / 0.1" OD. Plated through would be awesome, but I'd be happy with pad on bottom only as well.I've tried in the component editor, but I've hit something undocumented.Thanks,Steve

content: Attached.Finished hole size vs drill size is important here. Spec for the part is 0.102 inch min hole.

content: So what do I change in the TP file to make that 4.0 mm OD? When I placed it on the board for the desired spacing, I found I had an overlap at DRC .

content: 6.6 Light is missing some of the better tools you guys have. However it works well for most of the small boards I have to make. I'm guessing Kicad is in my future.Thanks for your help, both of you.Steve
