I have a need to create a 68 pin LCC module with every pad connected to
a plated through hole. Multiple pads will connect together and form 4
different part pins. In other words, I need to include plated through
holes in my module that aren't pins.

What is the best way to make this happen?

Thanks,
David

Are you trying to create a module that will suit different components?

i.e.

pad--pth--pth--pth

or pad--pad--pad--pth


if so then just a standard pth pad as needed. Tweak the size if need be.

Pads with the same number will show up as all connected together in
pcbnew.

It's an odd module. All the pins of the LCC will have a pth connected to
the pad and then all the pads connected in two groups. Each of these
groups will connect to two surface mount pins that will be the pins of
the module.

So I would like to be able to add pth's that aren't pins. Is that possible?

Maybe numbering all the pads in one group '1' and all the pads in the
other group '2' is the right way to handle it.

What's the best solution?

Modules don't have any concept of "pins" as such they are all pads.

Pads with matching pin numbers will connect to the eeschema component
with the same pin numbers.

You can make odd shaped pads by overlaying pads as well.

Just remember that if you want the pads to auto connect then give them
the same pin number.

That may not be quite what you want, but it's easy enough to try out.
