Subject:	[geda-help] Single side only pads
Reply-To:	geda-help AT delorie DOT com

I have a board for which most components and traces are on the solder 
side, but a few need to have pads on the component side, so I would like 
the ability to have pads only on a single side.  I ran across a 
discussion from 2005 which suggested the use of very small annular rings 
plus a coincident SMD pad, is this still the preferred method?  Is there 
a way to embed this approach in a footprint, or do I need to perform 
these actions for each board?

Thanks.

-Brian
