Subject:	[geda-user] gschem: assigning multiple pcb pad numbers to one schematic pin?
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

The default SOT223 footprint (3 legs and a large pad) has pads numbered 
1~4, but the device I want to use it with only has 3 different pins 
effectively. I don't want to get into editing the FP it if I don't have to.

My device has pins numbered 1,2,3 and the pad is connected to pin 2.

Can I modify the schematic symbol so that pin 2 can be connected to pads 
2 and 4 somehow? I would hope that setting the attribute pinnumber=2,4 
*should* work, but I've not got time to experiment, and I can't find 
anything in the docs about this.

Thanks,
Matt
