Pressfit drawings

I looked for a way to create press-fit drawings, but could not find anything in the documentation. However, I have now found a smart way to do it. The through-hole pad in the library allows the pad to be active in the User.1 layer as well. The User.1 layer can then easily be used to generate a perfect press-fit drawing.

So far I always left a note in the documentation for the manufacturer to know where to use press-fit and to which specification

Tolerances for press fit are quite tight, and this usually needs some collaboration with your PCB manufacturer.

If I were to do press-fit connectors, I’d use a special drill size for it and make sure that same size is not used in any other pad. This makes it easy to filter out the press-fit holes from the gerber files.
