I'm guessing your PCB object is a free pad???
I'm also guessing you don't have a PCB footprint defined
Okay, that seems to be part of the problem, but it raises another question. Does the
single pad in question have to be on the master schematic? I can get the pads on the
master to work, but the sub-drawings are still being difficult.
Thanx,

Small cutouts like those in the pads you are describing are usually
restricted to slots or cutouts with a radius at each end or corner. This is
because they are usually created using spinning drill or router bits. There
are many ways to specify slots unfortunately none are as simple and
