Can you create a non-standard shaped plated slot?

Rick T

All,

I am looking to create some conductive/plated slots that are shaped as three sides of a rectangle. I understand how to do a single one directional slot, but would like advice on how to go about creating a complex shaped slot.

Bonus question:

Is there a standard manufacturing process of either placing a solid copper slug within a plated slot or completely filling a plated slot with solder?

Thanks ahead of time for your time and responses.

    It sounds like you would have to add these as board cutouts instead of routed slots. How big are the cutouts going to be?

    I have a USB-C connector built with two slotted padstacks that overlap, perpendicular to each other.  L-shape

    Our fabricator included it in the primary drill before plate, seems to be a common approach.
