Some PCB manufacturers ask for the smt pad count for
their quotes. To accommodate them, I do the following:
First, do a Reports/Board Information. Now the tricky part,
subtract the number of vias from the Pad/Via Hole count.
This will give you the number of pads with holes. Then
subtract this number from the number of pads. What is left
over should be the number of pads without holes (i.e. smt pads).
I've verified that this works by manually counting smt pads. Although
I haven't actually done this exercise since P98.
