Cannot create pad shape with void in the middle

Hi!

We're trying to create a padstack with voids like the following part (the outer large pad)

 

We get this error: "shape symbol cannot have a void in a shape".  Unfortunately we can't do like in some of the online helps to make a small cut in the copper, as this is a microphone seal and we need good solder all around.

How would we go about making this pad in the shape editor?

Thanks,

Mitch

    But it seems like it is limited to circles only
