Creating a multiple drill padstack in SKILL with custom pattern

Brother Forage

I'm trying to figure out how to create (custom) multiple drill in SKILL.

my kung-fu of searching help files and forums may be weak but all i find is referring to 17.2 or older versions.

using

padID=axlLoadPadstack("myPadWithPolarDrillPattern")

padID->??

to see if it can bring some light in the matter doesn't help either as no matter the (custom) drill pattern made on padstack editor, the drill reported is

multiDrillData   (1 1 0.0 0.0 nil)

Can I make a list of drills in the same manner as a pad list and submit as drill data?

I am using revision 17.4 S32 as IT policies prohibits me from install latest versions or hotfixes.
