Just to be clear... Can I do the following :
• import an SVG into the copper layer to form my pad shape
• place a via on top of this copper shape and another off of it somewhere
• connect a trace from some part to both vias in series
• select the first via ( on pad shape ) and 'convert to bend point'
• select trace between bend point and the remaining via and 'delete wire up to bend point'
• delete obsolete via
Basically what I'm asking is; does it matter that Fritzing doesn't know that I am connecting to the SVG pad shape? They are on the same copper layer and appear on top of one another, but I'm not sure how this affects the creation of gerbers and the subsequent pcb fabrication.
