How to make a custom pad for a flex circuit

pitbull107

 How can I make a custom pad for a flex circuit?  It looks like I  can use a "shape" (.ssm), but how do I do that?  What I want is a circular pad with a "hold down" tab but have only a circular mask..

     I made the "shape", but I want a hole (or via) in the center of the circle. When I place a via I immediately get a drc error for shape to pad. I tired to "waive" the drc and it does't waive.  I hate to fool the system by adjusting the drc rule to allow shape to pad. Any other ideas?
