How to create glue dots in the SMD component placed bottom

Hi, all
I have created a catalog of my shares in Orcad designer professional  16.5,
I do not understand how to create a point of glue for res. 0805, SOIC 8 placed bottom.
Filmmask top and bottom are reserved for additional information that you can use, for example, you may reserve glue, gold or whatever you may need, but I can not create the shape of the glue dots in the plane filmmask on the component.

Can anyone help me with this?

    Add a custom subclass for this, Setup>SubClasses, click on the Package Geometry button and add a "Glue_Top", add the required shape to Package Geometry / Glue_Top. When placed in a BRD file, the Glue_Top will automatically be transfered to Glue_Bottom when the part is mirrored. Neat huh?
