Hide individual connectors in PCB view #2936

from amundsen:

"I suppose I am not the only one using Fritzing to create PCBs with components 
connected with headers. With microcontrollers and breakout boards, one does not 
always use all the connections. It means unused connections could be left 
unconnected, which helps leaving some points to let traces go through.

However, Fritzing's current implementation doesn't allow to mask a connector's 
copper to be masked in the PCB view. One has to re-build a board's pinout using 
generic female header.

For instance, see on the linked picture what I have done for an Arduino Pro 
Mini in a situation where A4/SDA and A5/SCL pins were needed while RST and A3 
were not.

It would ne nice if Fritzing had an option to remove any pin from PCB view so 
to allow this without having to rebuild a component using headers."
