+Using the Template
+----------------------------
+
+To use the Raspberry Pi Hat template with the through-hole connector, do the following:
+
+1. Open the schematic. Remove the SMD connector, J1.
+2. Generate the schematic netlist.
+3. Generate the .cmp file. (The J2 connector will be the only component in it.)
+4. Open the PCB. Hover your mouse over the connector and hit **e** to edit it. Select the J1 SMD connector. In the **Move and Place** section of the **Footprint Properties** window, select the **Free** radio button. Then click **OK**. The SMD connector should now be unlocked so it can be removed.
+5. Read in the netlist from the schematic. In the **Extra Footprints** section of the **Netlist** dialog window, select the **Delete** radio button. Then click **Read Current Netlist**. The J1 SMD connector should disappear. Then click **Close**.
+6. Finally, delete the upper two arcs and the edge of the board outline.

 <p>This is a project template for a <a href="https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats">Raspberry Pi B+ Hat</a>.</p>
 <p>This base project includes a PCB edge defined according to <a href="https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats/blob/master/hat-board-mechanical.pdf">this specification</a>. Both a thru-hole and a surface mount connector are provided, along with a different PCB edge for each. Just keep the PCB edge and connector type that you're using for your design and delete the others.</p>
