Another way to deal with through holes for surface mount components is just to place the through holes as free primatives and make the surface mount pads the actual component pads. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Saputelli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Dual pad components > that's what i do too > it works fine for me > Dennis Saputelli > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > In a message dated 10/5/01 2:05:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > writes: > > > > > We have a connector pattern with two pads per pin. one for through hole > > > and one for surface mount which we created with a pad 1 for through hole > > > and pad 1 for surface mount repeating the pattern for 50 pins and > > > connecting the pad together with a line.
