[PEDA] Solder jumper

Is it possible in 99SE to have a round pad with a 10 mil gap through the center to create a jumper that you solder when a connection is required? 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, S

Re: [PEDA] Solder jumper
