Use of slotted holes in plated thru electrical pins

We're interested in what others are doing to facilitate the implementation of a slotted plated thru hole in an electrically connected pin.

Cadence provides two methods to implement a slotted hole; 1) the Multiple Overlapping Drilled Hole method and 2) the explicit definition of a Slot, either rectangular or oval method.

Also, what additional documentation is required for these holes, above and beyond the traditional data in a drill chart?

With the ODB++ data format and the explicit slot definition it's a breeze and imports into Valor without issue. All of my fabricators have switched to ODB++ as their preferred format....

Using ODB++ outputs (7.6.7), we have had no problems with explicit slot definitions.
