Fred, Did you want the via to be rectangular or just the pad? I had many cases were a square via would have been nice but the board house(s) weren't really thrilled about it. A square pad just to identify pin 1 (for example) is an easy thing to do. Regards, Ron Scott C.I.D.

Hi, I use Allegro Design Expert and I wanna create a padstack for a special connector. Well, I want to know if it's possible to design a pad with a rectangular drill hole... I have imagined a solution : I enable multiple drill and make a row of circles...But it's not exactly what I want...
