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. Gary Gary E.

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.
