[PCB_FORUM] Re: thermal flash for a slot padstack

Hey Mitch,

I created my slotted thermal flash in a similar way, from two circular
ones.
I was just wondering if the auto way possible.

Hi Gary,
I used the "make thermal" SKILL routine (mkth) and added a circle
thermal.
I removed the top/bottom etch shapes, and added some rectangle shapes
top/bottom I can generate a "slotted" thermal flash in a matter or
minutes. I might not be "blonde" perfect, but I'd use it if I needed to.

Good day.
Mitch
