How to remove that Triangle on the pad

Hi, Have a easy question.

I did a symbol footprint, and at the central of that symbol, there is a pad. If I delete the pad number and place the pad, there will show a triangle in the middle of that pad.How to get rid of that triangle? And also will this unname pad triggers a DRC error in pcb layout?

Thanks

It's hard to tell from the picture attached, but it appears to be a text placeholder. Try moving your reference designator out of the way and then try deleting the triangle with text selected in your option tab.

I think this is a drill Symbol. Open the Pad in Pad Designer and look on the Parameters tab at the Drill/Slot Symbol. You have defined something that is only used when you have a drilled through hole. Remove the Triangle symbol so that Figure is set to Null. Also make sure that he Character and width and height are not set. Save the Pad and then refresh in Allegro.
