It should work much like allegro, and if you select the shape then right click and got to parameters there should be an option in one of the tabs to select connection type. Select the smd pins and change to full contact
yes soodamanikannan but you don't have to maually draw the thermals as allegro will do that for you depending on what you have set in global/local shape parameters.
THe regular pad will be used and depending on what settings you have for the positive plane it will either add the spokes of the thermal connection or it will fully flood over the pad. The thermal pad in the padstack will only be used in negative planes.
You will need to add a shape on the soldermask layer to create your clear area of soldermask, you will then need to add a shape on the pastemask layer to signify where you want the solderpaste to be
I have heard that some people in windows 7 that do not disable the windows 7 aero option have an issue with the refresh rate. Not usre if this is your problem but it may help.
Crevars is correct also, If you are using CIs for your schematic capture the pin numbers on the footprint must match the pin numbers in the schematic, otherwise you will have a problem when trying to get the netlist into allegro. Another small annoying thing in CIS is if you have multiple pins...
The only thing that is neede to map these two together is in the schematic symbol there is a property called PCB footprint, You put the footprint name into that field of the schematic symbol properties and when you create the netlist from CIS the footprint name will come through to allegro.
Your image of the stack-up is just a drawing. If you want to change it you will have to copy the shapes change the text to be whateve you want but it will have no effect on the cross section of the board.
you could place the first LED as per normal then copy it around using the polar command. You will then use the Logic/assign refdes command to place the remaining LED's
