Is there a 1 hole connection part in eagle? Im not looking for a mounting hole. I am making a pcb where a big wire will need to be solder onto the board, and this wire is connected to a pin (mosfet). Basically I am looking for a 1 position terminal block but the hole will have to be big like mounting holes because I need to connect like a 10-12 gauge wire directly on it. This is because It draws a lot of current (30+Amps) and most connector will melt.
 

You mention a mounting block will suffice, but the hole is not big enough. Can't you simply modify that device and make a bigger hole, then save it in your personal library?

If you have never made a device in Eagle, just attach here the device you want modified and your new specifications. I or someone else will make it for you.

Well I don't know how to attach things in this forum. BUt its would look something like the MTA03-100 in the Con-Amp library. Figure I actually need 3 holes and they should be half inch spacing between each and each hole should be atleast 2.5mm. I tried modifying the part, but somehow only the outer diameter change, and I cant change the inner diameter. IF you or someone can help make it, that would be wonderful
 

See if this helps:

View attachment MTA-03.zip

If you want to attach something, click advanced at the bottom of the dialog box. You will have to pull the specific MTA-o3 device you want from that whole library, unless you want to modify the factory library (not recommended). The modified package has the same number as the old, 1X3MTA.
