Some components require rectangular slots (for fixing lugs). How is this done?

Is it possible to have several plated holes overlapping - producing a slot with rounded ends?

If not, how do you do it?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your interest in the PCB-POOL(R).
With regard to the Plated through slots. We can acheive this by a few methods. It is best, as you suggested, to overlap some drills to define the size and shape of the slot. When you need a rectangular PTH you can provide the dimensions on your contour layer.
Thanks again and All the Best
