Design for Manufacturability (DFM) for Non Plated Thru Hole (NPTH) the soldermask opening should be finished hole size (FHS) + 10mils.
Example: NPTH for test fixture tooling, soldermask = FHS + 10mil (0.25mm)
In Altium this means the Soldermask expansion should be +5mils (0.125mm).
You should also include a copper keep out on all layers of FHS + 10mils.
There are no Design rules or DRCs in Altium for Non-Plated Thru Holes that will catch this DFM issue.
