Thanks Tom

So you to achieve IPC-7351B for surface mount and IPC-7352 for through-hole

Can be done by only 1option file and selecting IPC-7352B and this automatically get IPC-7352 for though hole and this lead no for adding this feature

There is only one Footprint Naming Convention for Through-hole parts.

The IPC-7351B Naming Convention only applies to Surface Mount.

The Through-hole Naming convention was created 20 years ago and finally released in IPC-7352, but it's been in Footprint Expert since 2012.

When someone picks the IPC-7351B naming convention in Options, the through-hole parts automatically get IPC-7352 footprint names for through-hole.

There’s only one Footprint Naming Convention for through-hole.

When you select IPC-7351B Footprint Naming Convention, it only affects Surface Mount component families.

The Through-hole naming convention is always there and available in IPC-7352 standard.

Add Footprint Namingconvention twice.

IPC-7351B For SMD, and IPC-7352 for through-hole.

Right now we can only select one or the other.
