Thanks for all the suggestions. I've played with it a bit and come up with an example for a 200mil radial capacitor below: Element["" "" "C0" "" 97000 208000 8000 -28000 0 100 ""] ( Pin[0 0 0 3000 6600 3000 "" "1" "hole,square"] Pin[2 0 0 3000 6600 3000 "" "2" "hole"]

I thought about that... making different footprints that don't have copper on the component side of the pins. Since that would require making new footprints for pretty much everything, I was hoping for a different solution... :) It seems like it would be a relatively common thing for hobbyis
