Re: PCB holes overlapping

Spehro,
Yes the advantage is that it is a hole they just cannot drill
if they have missed it's true function through the notes. The use
of a hole also gives you (and them) one precise location relative
to the rest of the database.
So the figure 8 takes one snap in lead from two connectors
and you just wanted them close so that they broke into each
others holes? I am now wondering what type of connector your
talking about and if maybe a short slot on the other axis would
be better (a straight edge instead of the round edge). The
connector doesn't fit over the figure eight I would guess, unless
it doesn't connect electrically to the board at least.
