pcb-rnd has had full support for plated and unplated slot= s in padstacks for some time now, with CAM based export allowing these slot= s to be defined either in the mechanical layer, outline layer or exellon ge= rber outputs, to suit your fab's preferred format.
I am having a pcb made by seeed currently with unp= lated slots underneath some ceramic halogen lamp footprints for cable egres= s. These slots were defined in the pcb-rnd footprint as a line on the unpla= ted slot layer.

I had pl= ated slots made by oshpark previously as well with pcb-rnd gerber exports.<= /div>

The series of holes defi= ning a slot is a hack that the fab may or may not process properly as a slo= t.
