trace will not attach to center of pad

Hey Everyone,
I have a part that my routed trace or the net will not attach to the center of the pad. This is a part that has a odd shape pad that was created using a shape in the padstack creation. If I go into the .dra of the footprint and move the pads around the cursor attach's to the center of the pad. So I would think my origin is set up correctly in the pad design. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The trace will connect to the origin of the shape. In the case of customs shape symbols make sure the shape symbol origin is
in the center of the pad. When the shape is referenced in the padstack often the software will create an offset.
You can work with changing the shpae origin to see if that helps.

As long as the trace connects to origin in the pad there shouldn't be any problems. If because of net length considerations you have to have trace connected in the center you might be better off creating a small circular pad and drawing the custom shape in the package.
