Add Footprint Naming convention twice. IPC-7351B For SMD, and IPC-7352 for through-hole. Right now we can only select one or the other. |

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. |

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. |
