@Joseph Massimino, You can connect the pad to the net using the Connect Pad to Pad tool: [https://easyeda\.com/forum/topic/How\_does\_the\_Connect\_Pad\_to\_Pad\_tool\_work\_\-JgQO0Ay7H](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/How_does_the_Connect_Pad_to_Pad_tool_work_-JgQO0Ay7H) **However you are trying to make a PCB from a schematic so you should not be making connections this way. ** Please read (2.1) in: [https://easyeda\.com/andyfierman/Welcome\_to\_EasyEDA\-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f](https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f) It explains exactly why you must not do what you are describing. If any part - even if it is a hole or a logo or a label - is to be on or form an integral part of the PCB then it **must** appear in the schematic with a suitable PCB footprint assigned to it. In this instance you need to place a schematic symbol for a 1 pin header which has PCB footprint with a suitably sized multilayer pad with a suitably sized hole diameter assigned to it, into the schematic. Set the part fitted attribute in the schematic to be **not fitted** to the PCB because you are just soldering a wire through the hole. Then when you update the pcb the footprint **will** be pulled in to the PCB and **it will already be connected.** I cannot stress enough that this is why you must go through the stuff in the Welcome to EasyEDA project. By doing that you will save yourself and everyone else who is trying to help you an immense amount of time.

Sorry, my mistake: Please read **(2.2)** in: [https://easyeda\.com/andyfierman/Welcome\_to\_EasyEDA\-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f](https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f) It explains exactly why you must not do what you are describing. These points are also covered in (4) and (6) in the same project.

@andyfierman  I went back to the PCB and created the pad, then I changed the size to get it right.  Then the pad-to=pad does nothing to connect it to something that is less than 1/4" away.  So pad-to pad does not work in PCB.  Do I have to create a pad in the schematic, then attach it and update the schematic?  That is my best guess.  All the suggestions touch on a lot of stuff, but ia only have one issue that should have a simple solution.  That is create pads of various sizes, and attach them to the circuit.

@andyfierman   I realized that I have done something like this before, and you gave me a part number for a pad that i used on my other board edges. I went back to those and tried to get the part number, but it did not give me the same pad. It was a square pad, and I added it to my schematic.  Do you have any idea what that part number is?
