How do you create a part that has two through holes with a single net connecting to both.

[Todc.18]

I attempted to create a part that contained 2 through holes with a copper strip between them so they would connect to a single net, but one of the holes (pin 2) gets rejected by Ultiboard as an unconnected entitiy. Is there a way to define the second hole (pin 2) in such a way as to mitigate the problem?
Thanks, Tod

 Hi

It is quite simple to do so:

when making the footprint, you just put your two TH pins where you need them. name them 1 and 2.

Then in Multisim, when making a new component with the component wizzard,in step 2 make a 1-pin component, and select your desired footprint(which has two pins).

thenin step 3, make/choose your 1-pin symbol.

In step 5 you can map the footprint to the symbol , just use both footprint pins for the same symbol pin.

When using it in your schematic, you'll see one pin, in the layout, there will be two pins connected together..

Good luck
