Multiple pins on top of each other

Hi,


Capture will allow two pins to be on top of each other and will connect both pins in the netlist. Is it generally acceptable to do such a thing? Thisis for the following component: http://www.vishay.com/docs/30099/wsl3637.pdf

    Even though it works it's generally unacceptable practice.  Just move the pins to the next grid to the side (edit->symbol) and connect them back with a wire on the schematic.  You'll have the same netlist and a clean drawing.
