Hello,
Thank you Danilo for this suggestion I already have tried. The problem is that in this case there is a thermal relief around the pads unless you create a special GND zones for each hole. My request is just a hole (often big size) in a GND zone on each side of the circuit. The problem also exists in HF application to connect together many times the GND zones situated on each side of the circuit with small vias, but without thermal relief.

I still do no know how to create, a hole for mechanical purpose in a GND zone without isolation around the hole? If I put a pad the pad will be isolated from the GND zone; if I connect the pad to GND then I will have a CRC error and if I do not put a pad around the hole than I will have trouble with the board maker! How may I do? Any help will be welcome. Regards, Jean-Paul Hello, Have you tried to create a fictive component which is a hole, connect it to GND in the schematic, then place it on the PCB and create your GND zone around ? It should be connected, or I have not understand your problem. HTH Danilo
