2 Pads having the same Pin number

Scuud

Hello

I designed a foot print for a connector" The suggested footprint looks like the one below.  This connecteur only have 2 positions, so this means 2 pads are electrically connected.

 

on my layout on Orcad PCB editor, i designed one as being the electrical pin and the other one being the mechanical one. The idea is that when I connect the line, i can start from one or the other pad, and the software will know the pin is connected. unfortunately, I cannot connect a mechanical pad, and i cannot design a pad with 2 shapes.

how am I supposed to do it?

Thanks a lot

    You need to make sure that any pins that are connected electrically have a pin number.  You will have to adjust your schematic symbol accordingly.
