Hello Heiko.
If you try to make the hole larger than the pad you will get an error.
What I have been using in the past was to have the pad on NO copper layers.
But in the current version it also creates an error.
Yes. I think it would be better to get a warning instead of an error.
Maybe
Hello Robert.
So unless it's essential that the
the hole be completely non-metallic, it's probably best to give it at
least a minimal copper supporting annulus and simply let it get plated.
In my personal experience the need for non plated holes ist mostly for the
bigger ones.
Here holes
That sounds like a simple and reliable way to stop unwanted through-hole
plating without the hassle and potential for additional cost and
cock-ups associated with having two drill files.
Regards,
Robert.

It is called stitching, just FYI (stitching vias)

Hi,
This discussion is very interesting for me, and confirm my
interrogation.
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

Unplated holes have to be drilled after the plating process
because the plating process will plate any exposed PCB surface.
If you have exposed PCB surfaces (i.e. copper) inside a non-plated hole
you should check your design. There shoudn't be any exposed copper
(top/bottom or plane edges

Hello.
Sombody contacted me with a problem printing mounting holes at
KiCAD. He tries to make them as single round Pad with same drill
diameter and pad
Without seeing the actual gerbers I can't be 100% sure but more than
likely his fab house added that annular ring in order to make it a
plated hole. unplated holes cost more for some reason (probably the
stencil costs) so board houses take your unplated holes and add a small
annular ring in
