Other than deleting a Connect pin and inserting a Mechanical pin in it's place, is there a method of changing a Connect pin to Mechanical ?

     Actually it's very simple but I have to admit it's not very intuitive (at least until you know how to do it)

    To change a connect pin to mechanical pin

    1) Click delete icon
    2) Select text in object find filter
    3) click on pin number to convert to mechanical

     To change a mechanical pin to a connect pin just

    1) select Add->Text
    2) select Active class "Package Geometry"
    3) select "Pin Number" in Subclass
    4) click on pin to change
    5) click again where you want the text
    6) enter pin number and press enter
