Why don't you just create a place holder logic symbol (no connections)
that you can change the part number on and
put the EMPTY place holder in the schematic....
Seems terribly dangerous placing two parts over the top of each other on
the board. What if one gets moved slightly (couple of mils)
and the other one doesn't?

We need both connectors (part numbers) in the schematic to drive our
BOM.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] How to connect Two thru-hole pads that are placed
same location.
We have two thru-hole connectors placed on top of one another. One
populated, one not.
PROBLEM: We can not get rid of rats, because two pins / pads at same
X:Y.
Any ideas how to get connection to both pads?
We decided to remove net names from one of the connectors in the
schematic, to allow us to connect to one pad on board. Then waive DRC's.
We are using V.15.7 and Concept front end.
Regards,
Mark
