Problem with footprints ACS756

legnar

I am using ORCAD Layout Plus Package 16.0 Windows XP to create footprints some components. I'm having trouble creating the footprints of the two larger holes ACS756component because the layer only accepts drill pad round shape. Here below a picture of the component specifications. I ask for help from someone who can give me some tips or if there is any example that I can send.

    OrCAD Layout has no inbuilt support for slot component holes, you would need to discuss with a PCB fabricator how to document you requirements so that the required structure gets manufactured. You can set the drill for the minor dimension, describing the slot requirements would likely be specific to the actual fabricator used. PCB Editor does have inbuilt support for slots as padstacks.
