Need help on Eagle

Hi,

I cant seem to find a good holes library on Eagle for mounting using screws.
All the holes in the standard library seems to be too small.
Anybody got any custom holes library?

Also anybody got libraries for CP-Clare products?

Thanks.

    How big of a hole do you need?

    I see that 5.5 mm (0.216 inch) is the largest in the standard library.

    Most PCB manufacturers have a max hole size, which varies from 0.2" - 0.26" at the 4 vendors that I just checked. Larger holes would have to be done by routing, not drilling.

    Round holes work fine, try this library on SparkFun. www.opencircuits.com/SFE_Footprint_Library_Eagle

    I've used the DC jack from this library and the boards came back fine.
