This thing: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e ... ND/2405514
In a nutshell, it's two through-hole pads 67 mils in diameter 200 mils apart. The two pads are electrically connected by the part.
1. Is there a library already for this somewhere?
2. I've started down the road of creating my own library for this part, and the stumbling block is that I can't seem to electrically connect the two pads within the library itself. I can connect/append the two pads when creating a new device, and I can drop two polygons between the two pads on both sides of the board, but I can't name the two pads to the same thing, and I can't name the polygon at all (in the library layout editor). I do seem to get the resulting part that I want, but there are two airwires left that I have to ignore.
