custom pad

Question

Hi all,

Im trying to create a USB connector, but having problems with yellow higlighted area. There is TH pad with rectangle shape. The hole is 1.5x0.825mm and I have no idea how to make pad like this in eagle.

There should be Top and Bottom layer and hole should be conductive. I've made small hack as is shown in last picture - there are three overlaping pads. But this is not a good solution Can somebdy point me what is the best aproach to make a rectangle pad?

Thanks,

Hynek

This part is intended to be mounted by plated slots.

From the Eagle manual

My 2 cents, I would look for a part that either does not require such features, or I would determine whether a larger round hole could be used instead. plated slots incur an up-charge at all the board houses I have used. So I generally avoid components that require them.
