Thank you for the reply. Ok...thats what i made but the pad is still there but grey instead of colored . When i make drill and pad to be the same size and uncheck the two layers it seems that there is no drill, actually there is nothing. Of course i dont want any copper surrounding the drill, and sure i would like to see the drill because there is a drill, and traces cannot pass trough the drill. So let me see if im right, the solution is: Choose the drill size you want. Choose a pad size as thin as possible. Uncheck the layers. Imagine that the thin pad is the edge of the drill. Isn it? Thank you Roger!
