[PCB_FORUM] thermal flash for a slot padstack

Hey guys,

 

Ok, I'm trying to create a thermal flash symbol for a slot.

 

I'm in a drawing with the symbol Type set to "Flash".

 

I go Add -> Flash, and in the Thermal Pad Symbol Defaults window, It
appears that I can only add the thermal shapes for a circle.

 

Is there any way to automatically create the shapes for a slotted
thermal?

 

I believe I can create two thermals for circles, then merge them to
create a slotted thermal. Is that the only way?

 

Thanks for any help!
