Thanks. I will go with the VIA then. When I tired an artwork hole, or stand-off hole, however I could not connect a route to them. The VIA was the only one I could connect to,and resize.
The only problem is that a via does not show up on the schematic, so its not obvious when you refer to it.A stand-off hole does show up on the schematic, and you can add a pcb ring to it, however you cant connect a route to it,
I think if a pin header could be resized beyond its bounding box, it would work best.
I wanted to check before I submitted my build with a via. Thanks for your response.
