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

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
