The hole in pad will be automatically generated (Part Wizard - Step 5 of 7 - Pad Type and Dimensions) after you will create a new component.

Hi,

From your description, I believe you are trying to import a design from AutoCAD into Ultiboard.  If this is the case, you will have a lot of problems because a DXF file only have object such as lines polygon etc...  Once you import the DXF file into Ultiboard, you won't be able to do much with the data because Ultiboard needs information such as net, pad type etc... and without that type of information you are just connect lines together.

If this is not your question, please elaborate and also attached the DXF file again, it didn't make it through in your original post.
