I have always found "virtual" a strange word in this context. Anyways, it's not logically same as "do not populate". Logically there are three options: SMD, THT and No Component. The latter for footprints for which there's no component at all, like programming pads for IC, gold fingers, castellated edge or test point. For those footprints which have a component there would be "do not populate" option which could remove the component from 3D view and BOM if active. For maximum flexibility, like in the situation which I mentioned in my previous post, there could be "population groups" which could be activated/deactivated. So instead of "DNP on/off" key there would be "DNP group" key which would have the group (or by default be empty), and the group would be switched on/off. Eeli Kaikkonen
