Hi Mark, If you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do, just lay out one set of pads for the SMD version, and one set for the through hole version (I'm assuming the two sets of pads don't clash), and number the pins appropriately for each set of pads. You'll then end up with two pins 1, two pins two, two pins 3, and so on.
When you place the component you will need to lay tracks that connect the two pins 1 together, the two pins 2 together, and so on. Does that answer your question? Regards, Robert.
