Two possibilities I can think of... (1) Add a second pad using a polygon rectangle. IIRC you can't name a polygon in the library editor, but you'll have a pad that you can solder on. This will not allow the signal to pass through to the other side though. (2) You can use 2 pins and put them at the same spot. But IIRC once you add the part to the PCB, you need to move the part, then it will recognise them as being at the same spot and automatically connect them. Experiment to be sure. Cheers, -Neil.
