Hi,

I have to draw a footprint where the datasheet specifies "prohibited areas", meaning areas where no copper should be, because they use it to route traces.
The way I do it, is by creating a pad with a thickness of 0 and a clearance corresponding to the area.
The problem I encounter is that the resulting clearance is created and removes the underlying copper, but the trace clearance is rounded, even if I add the SFlag "square" to the pad.
Is there a better way to do this, or could the code be changed so the clearance also is square if the pad is?

thanks,
kevin
