You can use the Objects Plated Half-Holes library as a starting template for creating such pads.Flux wrote: 30 Sep 2025, 20:03 How can i make an m.2 board with a plated half hole for a grounded screw on the end opposite the connector end of the board?

Re: m.2 board help screw hole
Thanks. Appreciate the answer. Any idea on how to apply to a board outline? And is there an easy way to add a half circle in a board outline? Or anyway?
Re: m.2 board help screw hole
To specify edge plating on the board, you can create a Non-Signal layer and place shapes and text on it to indicate the plated areas. Additionally, include a comment about this for the manufacturer when ordering the board.

Use the "Arc" option from the context menu for the polygon vertex.
