Urgent query about defining oval slot rotation in *.DLT file for custom instruction

Faysal

Hello Group,

I am having issue in the last stage of my design. In the *.DLT template from Cadence under folder \share\pcb\text\nclegend. Below note is mentioned.

; Matching of data to a hole is done on the basis of the hole size in field 1 and the plating status in field 2. For a normal hole, the size field is simply '<size>'. For matching to an oval slot hole, size must be  '(<major> <minor>)', with <major> being the major dimension of the oval,  and <minor> the minor dimension.

In my board file, there are two oval slots with different orientation and both need different custom instruction in the drill table. If I add oval slot info (drill, plating and custom instruction) in the .DLT  as per above note, then in the board file, same instruction appears for both oval slot in the drill table while need to be different since orientation is different. 

My question is it possible that we can add rotation info of two oval slots in the below line in the *.DLT? Does Cadence support the same? Thanks

((50 40) "Non Plated" "Oval Slot")
