Hello everyone:
I have created a footprint for a TO-3 NPN transistor. The
TO-3 can as you
may be aware has two mounting holes, in my case these two
mounting holes are
attached to the collector

This question, how to deal with multiple pads for a single schematic pin,
has been asked many, many times. There are three basic ways to deal with it:
(1) Modify the schematic symbol
(a) to add a visible extra pin.
(b) to add another pin in the same position as the first. This
will recognize
and address this problem.
Thanks,

Daniel,
We have had this exact problem on a TO-3 device as well
What I do in situations like this, is simply label both pads 3 or C or
whatever you would normally label them, instead of labeling them 3 and 4.
Not perfect, but works well enough for me.

Thank you for your advice. I have done exactly what you have suggested in
other cases and lived with the junction that appears. This still is not
adequate though, for it appears to be an error of some kind on the
schematic. Perhaps it is the best
