Conceptually, if a pad is required for a test point or optional connection of a "no-net" pin, it is required wiring and thus should be on the schematic. You can create those patterns in a flash: make a single-pin symbol with a footprint which is a single pad. You can pop this symbol directly down on any unused pin; it serves in place of a No-ERC Directive. You DO put No-ERC Directives on unconnected pins and include unconnected pin warnings in your ERC, don't you? ... I had a friend who was a hotel "tester." His job was to go to hotels and fine restaurants and "test" them. I.e., take advantage of all the services, eat the meals, etc., etc., and then report on the service. Now, if I could just get a job testing hot tubs and massage therapists, I'd seriously think of saying goodbye to printed circuit design.... My hotel tester friend ended up having problems with his weight and alcoholism, I wonder what beasts would rear their ugly heads from too much relaxation?
