For both questions, you can try the following:
1) Once the part is in the design, manually edit the primitives & set their net name
to match the corresponding net name to the connected pad's net names. This will also
fix the bug related to the via not connecting to the power plane.
or
2) When designing the component, define both the sets of pads & other objects as
'electrical load' & match the pin numbers. This method may not always work properly.
(boy, typing with a cast on is slow & difficult.)

Subject: [PEDA] Copper/Thru hole DRC errors
| I have run into a situation where I have a thru hole component that needs surface
|mount pads associated with them also. I have created the component in the library
|and then attached copper pads to the same area as the thru hole pads. When I import
|the component into the PCB layout I get design errors associated with it. Does
|anyone know how to overcome this problem?
|
| On another note, and in the same design, I have manually swapped power pins on a
|component. One of the power pins should be connected to an internal plane, but it
|will not connect properly (no thermal relief, copper pours around the via). All of
|the power pins in the vicinity of this via connect properly, however, nothing I do
|seems to work to get this via to connect. Any thoughts on this one?
|
