You could also create a component with a single small pad surrounded by an arc that would create your outer pad annular ring. With proper sizing, you could achieve whatever clearance you wish between the pad and arc. You will have to remember to add the soldermask clearance to expose the arc though. At least you would eliminate the board shop's confusion of the larger pad hole that is not-to-be drilled.

That would leave you with one pad. Pad would have to have its hole diameter larger than the via diameter and should have to be marked as 'not-to-be-drilled' and not plated. How complicated is that going to be for your your pcb shop? I can't think of another way.

I know that the "Lomax Virtual Short" is similar but we want a single pad (or two halves of a pad) instead of two separate pads. Thanks, Steve Smith Product Engineer Staco Energy Products Co.
