    Should be but this is a post process. If you do it this way check your Gerber's / output data. A "better" method would be to enable the unused pad suppression from 16.6 - Setup - Unused Pad Suppression or 17.2 Section Cross Section and enable it there. This way the pad suppression is dynamic and WYSIWYG. If you add a cline to a pin the pad is drawn, if you delete the cline the pad is removed. Remember to turn on the Hole to checks and display so you can see both holes and pads where necessary.
