Making PCB pads connectable?

Excellent! Thank you. If I understand correctly, due to some Fritzing program internal dynamics, the pad function loses the sizing ability if a connection is added to it? If so, that would be a poor exchange of overall benefits. And, no way to add connect-ability without also losing that pad-sizing ability? If so, that rather kills the usefulness of the sizeable pads. Catch-22 it seems. Thanks again for your response, and I will look into making a 'parts factory'!
