Asymetric thermal relief connections problems with irregular pad

Hello Cadence Community!

I have problem with thermal relief connections.

I made padstack for goldpin connector, which has on bottom layer oblong shape and circular shape on other layers. Drill and circular shape has -0.5mm offset in Y direction.

On bottom layer thermal relief is correct:

But on other layers thermal relief is asymetric:

Is there any method to make this thermal relief symetric?

    5280.TEST.zipThis just works for me so is more than likely down to how the pad was created. Where did you put the offset ? It should be put on the Layers tab so that the drill hole remains, then you should see the thermal relief based on the drill hole and then each layer will connect correctly. I've attached a TEST.zip that has a pad, footprint and board file for you to compare.
