Hide AND Remove pin in same footprint

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   It does not seem to be possible to both hide and remove pins in the same footprint.  If this is correct I would further guess that this limitation is because of the naming scheme.  It would be great to have this possibility in some cases.  
One example are the G6B series relays from OMRON. http://www.omron.com/ecb/products/pdf/en-g6b.pdf

Here, pins 2 and 5( or seven 7) are effectively hidden while the rest of the unused pins are removed (not counted).

Is there a reason this flexibility will not be allowed?

	Mixing hidden and missing pins is not allowed. It has to do with the format of the fpx library file. This part can be built in the FP Designer tho.
